Verbena bonariensis seedlings (Hatfield AL10)

(Pictures in flower are from previous summers - plants offered are young seedlings which will grow quickly and flower this summer.)

Good in containers and quick to grow, verbena bonariensis is a beautiful hardy perennial with beautiful clusters of small purple flowers on tall wiry stems over a long flowering season. Flowers beloved of bees and butterflies. Comes back from the base stronger every year and will self seed around if it's happy. Watch goldfinches try to balance on the seed heads next winter.

Wants sharp drainage and full sun to be truly happy, but I have sticky clay and a fair amount of shade and it does fine.

I currently have just a few pots (see 3rd photo - will split between multiple people if there is demand) but there are billions of seedlings (e.g. see last photo) which I will pot up with a bit more lead time by arrangement.
