Our range of Buenos Aires vervains showcases the renowned Verbena bonariensis, a tall, airy perennial with slender stems that produces small purple umbels all summer long. This species and its cultivars integrate beautifully into perennial borders, naturalistic gardens, or ornamental grass gardens.
The typical species Verbena bonariensis is a plant for well-drained to dry soil and can self-seed in light soil. More suited to borders and containers, ‘Lollipop’ retains the same "cloudy" flowering in a more compact form. ‘Cloud’, stocky and particularly floriferous, is perfectly suited to planters. ‘Vanity’ forms a well-ramified clump of intermediate height and flowers in a rich violet-blue. Discover all our varieties.
These verbenas appreciate a sunny position and well-drained soil, even rather dry and poor soil; in heavy, damp soil, the establishment is more delicate, and the plants have a limited lifespan. Plant them in lightened soil (add sand/gravel if needed) and water for the first few weeks and then only during severe drought.
