Hoary verbena (Verbena stricta) - 1 gallon

If you are looking to bring a tough-as-nails native perennial to your landscape that practically dances with pollinators all summer long, Hoary Verbena is an absolute treasure for your yard. Reaching two to three feet tall with an upright, sturdy stance, this rugged beauty features unique grayish-green, downy foliage that handles our mountain elements with ease, topped by spires of rich purple-blue flowers that bloom from mid-summer straight into the autumn chill. It thrives best in full sun, soaking up those bright rays while requiring very little fuss once its roots are settled into our local, well-draining soils.

Beyond its striking vertical color and exceptional drought tolerance, this resilient native is a true magnet for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, while local deer and rabbits consistently pass right by it, leaving your floral display completely untouched. Give it a sunny spot with good drainage, and you will enjoy a hardworking, low-maintenance favorite that brings wild charm and reliable life to your outdoor space year after year.
