Glandularia canadensis (Rose Vervain) is a clumping, sprawling annual or perennial boasting abundant flat-topped clusters of up to 20 fragrant, rose-pink to rose-purple flowers from late spring to late summer. Blooming its heart out over a long season, Rose Vervain attracts butterflies and many pollinating insects. The deeply lobed dark green foliage creates a lovely foil for the showy flowers. Rose Vervain can spread quickly via ground-hugging stems rooting at the nodes where they touch the ground to form a pretty, aromatic ground cover. This plant behaves as an annual where winters are harsh, as a perennial elsewhere. Glandularia canadensis is great for rock gardens, sunny borders, landscape restorations, trailing over rock walls, or cascading from containers.
