Verbena Stricta – Hoary Vervain is a plant that grows in a narrow clump and features blue-purpleflowers in narrow, upright pencil-like panicles. The flowers are densely packed on the panicles, but they bloom only a few at a time from the bottom up. The flowers will bloom from May to September, but they will primarily bloom in the summer. The flowers are borne on ovate, coarsely toothed, stalkless leaves that are covered with white hairs, and the foliage has a gray-green appearance. These plants will grow between 2 – 4 feet tall and do best in full sun with medium-dry soil and are also drought tolerant. These showy flowers will attract hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and birds to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. An interesting fact about this plant is that the gray-green leaves that are fuzzy on both sides, are the larval host for the Common Buckeye Butterfly. These plants are great for wild or native plant gardens and borders. They are also low maintenance, which is always good for the busy gardener.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
