Perennials for Sun or Part Shade: Verbena

Verbena bonariensis attracts particularly butterflies over its long flowering period. Holds clusters of tiny puple flowers on elongated stems, which may need support. Verbena self seeds prolifically, but start it off in a sheltered spot in full sun. It's crushed Verbena leaves that can be used to make soap.

Flowers: July - October
Soil type: Moist, fertile, well drained
Supplier : Burncoose Nurseries
We donate half of our profit on sales of Verbena to Butterfly Conservation

Please note: there is a minimum purchase of 3 of each variety and a minimum overall order size of £50.

Our nectar and pollen plants have been chosen in association with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, British Beekeepers’ Association and Butterfly Conservation, who benefit from any sales. Please also see our wildflower and grass seed mixes, which include a Bumblebee mix, Pollen and Nectar Mix and Butterfly and Moth Wildflower Mix. We sell a number of plants in this section which provide important late and early nectar and pollen, for which also see our bulbs and non-native trees.
For butterflies, although you will find some nectar plants in this section which are also food plants for caterpillars, you will find many more in wildflower plugs, wildflower seeds, and native trees and shrubs.
