Set of 3 or 6 Verbena Bonariensis Hardy Perennial Plants, Tall Purple Summer Flowers, Outdoor Garden Ready, 1 Litre Root Ball

3 or 6 Verbena Bonariensis Hardy Perennial Plants

Verbena bonariensis is one of the most popular and elegant garden perennials, prized for its tall, wiry stems topped with clusters of small, vibrant purple flowers. This stunning plant creates a wonderful see-through effect in borders and mixed plantings, adding height and movement without blocking the view of plants behind. A magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators, it is an essential addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.

Supplied as a set of three established plants in 1 litre root-balls, ready for planting straight into borders, beds or large containers. Verbena bonariensis is a reliable, low-maintenance perennial that often self-seeds gently, rewarding you with new plants year after year. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, echinacea, salvias and other cottage garden favourites.
