Verbena bonariensis, also known as tall verbena or purple top, is a popular herbaceous perennial that blooms in late summer to early autumn. It is known for its tall, slender stems that can reach up to 6 feet in height, with small clusters of purple flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. This is a very popular plant because of it's hardiness and attractive appearance.
Why we like it:
- Attracts pollinators to the garden, making it a great addition for those interested in supporting local wildlife.
- The tall, slender stems provide an interesting vertical element to garden beds and borders.
- It is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care once established, making it a good choice for novice gardeners.
What to know:
- Verbena bonariensis prefers full sun and well-draining soil.
- This plant can self-seed and spread, so it may need to be divided or trimmed back to prevent overcrowding in the garden.
- Deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and prolong the flowering period.
- It is a drought-tolerant plant that can survive in dry conditions, but regular watering during hot and dry spells can help keep it healthy.
- The flowering period for Verbena bonariensis typically lasts from mid-summer to early autumn.

- Height: up to 6 feet (180 cm)
