Verbena bonariensis

Verbena bonariensis is a tall, elegant perennial that adds a graceful touch to any garden. Known for its airy, wiry stems topped with clusters of small, vibrant purple flowers, it blooms from midsummer through autumn, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Perfect for borders, wildflower meadows, or as a focal point in mixed beds, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, Verbena bonariensis is an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance choice for adding height, colour, and movement to Irish gardens. Its light, breezy habit makes it a favourite for contemporary and naturalistic planting schemes.
