Verbena rigida
Verbena rigida is a low-growing perennial producing vivid violet-purple flower clusters on branching stems over a long summer season. Its spreading habit and strong colour make it useful near the front of sunny borders, in gravel gardens and in pollinator-friendly planting.
Why we like it
- Vivid purple flowers over a long period
- Attractive to butterflies and bees
- Lower habit than Verbena bonariensis
What to know
- Grow in full sun.
- Plant in free-draining soil and avoid heavy winter wet.

- Deadhead regularly to encourage continued flowering.
- Cut back old stems in spring once new growth begins.
