Plant of the Day
Saturday 23 October 2021
Even though summer is over the Verbena bonariensis (purple top, Argentinian vervain, South American vervain) is still creating a display and casting some great shadows on the adjacent paving. This tall, narrow, short-lived perennial thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun and seeds into gravel paths and drives. It has good nectar supplies for pollinators and attracts butterflies.
