Verbina bonariensis

Verbina bonariensis

Possibly one of the most valuable of summer flowering plants for a cottage garden. This beauty from Brazil threads its stiffly upright stems through other perennials floating hundreds of tiny amethyst purple pom poms. Somehow strong yet soft at the same time and the butterflies and bees love it.  A stunning addition that self seeds.  Very strong slender upright growth.  Although the base is 90cm flower spikes stand tall

reaching approximately 1.8metres
