Lavender Pink Loved by Pollinators
Bursts of airy flowers support many varieties of butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Smaller in stature and lighter in color than the straight species. Late season, nectar-rich blooms are welcomed by migrators before their travels. Self seeds readily, treat as an annual in the North. Be sure to let seeds drop to enjoy a new crop of beautiful plants to fill a border the next growing season. The clustered blooms of Verbena bonariensis Lollipop are a great addition to cut-flower bouquets. The airy swaying stems topped with lollipop-like spheres are lovely when planted en masse.

Verbena General Information

Verbena Bonariensis are tall and airy producing deep lilac clusters of flowers on stiff, slender stems. Blooms mid-summer through fall. Great for mixed borders. Self-seeds readily. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Verbena Plant Care

Prefers full sun in well-drained soil. Must cut back spent blossoms to encourage new blooms. Remove top 1/4 of plant periodically to force new buds.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% unconditional guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
