Hoary Vervain Live Plant | Verbena stricta | Native Pollinator Perennial Starter Plant

Bring vibrant color and outstanding pollinator value to your garden with Hoary Vervain, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its tall spikes of rich purple flowers, silvery-green foliage, and exceptional wildlife benefits. Verbena stricta, commonly known as Hoary Vervain, is a hardy North American native perennial admired for its long-lasting summer blooms and adaptability to sunny landscapes. It is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, prairie plantings, native landscapes, cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, borders, and naturalized areas. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms from early summer through early fall.

Hoary Vervain thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Its dense spikes of purple flowers attract native bees, butterflies, skippers, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the growing season. The softly hairy, gray-green foliage adds texture and visual interest, while mature seed heads provide food for birds later in the season. This resilient native perennial is an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly and low-maintenance gardens.
