Verbena ‘Purple Top’

Marian title- Herb of the Cross

A pollinator magnet, Verbena bonariensis, commonly called Purple Top, attracts a variety of beneficial insects to your garden. With clusters of purple flowers that seems to float above the garden on tall, sturdy stems, this plant adds a purple 'mist' of color and texture. Plus, its drought tolerance makes it a low-maintenance addition to any landscape.

This flower provides a nice landing pad for monarchs and swallowtail butterflies. The scale of the flower to the size of the butterfly provides an opportunity for a remarkable photograph. Readily reseeds itself to enjoy for years.
