🌼 Growing Information
Hoary Vervain (Verbena stricta) is a native perennial adapted to dry prairies and open grasslands. It prefers full sun and grows best in dry to average, well-drained soil. Mature plants typically reach 2–4 feet in height and bloom from early to mid-summer with upright spikes of purple flowers.
