Hoary Vervain, Hoary Verbena, Tall Vervain, Woolly Verbena
Verbena stricta (Hoary Vervain) is a vigorous, clump-forming perennial boasting showy spires of small blue-purple flowers borne in pencil-like, terminal panicles. Blooming from late spring to fall, the blossoms open from the bottom upwards for a long-lasting display. Rich in nectar, they attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators. They rise above the foliage of coarsely-toothed, gray-green leaves. Hoary Vervain is an attractive perennial for the wildlife garden or butterfly garden.
