Experience the beauty and hardiness of the Verbena stricta, also known as the Hoary Verbena or Hoary Vervain. This small purple wildflower is native to a large region of the central United States and is extremely versatile and drought resistant due to the habitats it can thrive in. In ideal growing conditions, it can grow up to 2-4 feet and its spike includes a densely packed cluster of ½-inch flowers that bloom in a variety of colors with the majority being a beautiful purple or lavender shade. The leaves are covered in a dense hair and are completely stalk-less, making them the ideal food for the larval form of the common buckeye butterfly. Additionally, the seeds are an important dietary portion of many small birds and mammals. Enjoy the beauty and benefits of this wildflower in meadows, fields, or your very own butterfly garden.
