Verbena halei (Texas Vervain) is a short-lived herbaceous perennial forming a basal rosette of spathulate, ovate to oblong-ovate, toothed, or incised leaves. 1 to 3 square stems develop from the rosette. They are clad with lower leaves that are 1-2 pinnatifid while those near the top of the stems are linear and bract-like. Delicate pale lavender to purple-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers adorned with 5 petal-like lobes are borne in long, loose clusters around the stems. Blooming from early spring to early summer, the blossoms attract pollinating insects. Drought tolerant, Texas Vervain is an attractive perennial for the wildlife garden. Suitable for xeriscaping.
