Verbena Bonariensis
Butterflies & people alike are magnetically drawn to these graceful, violet coloured beauties! Grows 36-48" (91 - 122cm) with 2" clusters of flowers - drought & heat tolerant once established.
I love inter-planting/layering these with others flowers like Rudbeckia which creates an airy violet cloud above the other blooms. It is a graceful counterpart to larger flowers and invariably compliments with a quiet, modest charm without overwhelming.
Superb butterfly plant, rivalling even Buddleia (butterfly bush) and is a sight to behold when the butterflies are fluttering gleefully about it. I have it planted by the door and often walk through a cloud of butterflies:-)
It makes an excellent cut flower. Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit
