Verbena bonariensis – Purple Vervain is a tall, airy, non-native perennial valued for its clusters of small, violet-purple flowers that bloom continuously from mid-summer through fall. Its slender, upright stems give it a graceful appearance, making it ideal for adding vertical interest to borders and pollinator gardens. Purple Vervain is a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its nectar-rich blooms.
Although native to South America, Verbena bonariensis is prized in ornamental gardens for its long bloom time, drought tolerance, and ability to self-sow, creating a naturalized, meadow-like effect. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, growing 3 to 6 feet tall, and makes an excellent choice for cottage gardens, perennial borders, and wildlife habitats.

Purple Vervain thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soils. It tolerates poor, sandy, or gravelly soils and is drought-tolerant once established. It’s ideal for pollinator gardens, meadows, and borders where it can naturalize and self-seed freely.
This tall, airy perennial typically grows 3 to 6 feet tall and spreads 1 to 3 feet wide. Its slender, wiry stems hold clusters of small purple flowers, giving it a light, see-through appearance that works well mid-border or at the back of beds.
It blooms from midsummer until the first frost, producing clusters of small, lavender-purple flowers that sit atop tall, branching stems. These blooms are magnets for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
It’s considered a tender perennial in USDA zones 7-11 but often behaves like an annual in colder climates. However, it self-seeds readily, so it frequently returns year after year in garden settings, even where it’s not reliably hardy.
No, it’s low-maintenance. Deadheading can encourage additional blooms and reduce self-seeding if desired. It’s deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and generally pest- and disease-free.
