Verbena rigida
The intense purple flowers are rich in nectar and attract honeybees. Also known as Slender Vervain or Sandpaper verbena, Verbena rigida is much like a miniature version of Verbena bonariensis and has the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.
How to grow
Highly vigorous and readily self-seeds and can spread through underground rhizomes. Can be invasive. Incredibly hardy and drought - tolerant. Remove spent flowers regularly to prevent seed spreading and prune to the ground when flowering finishes in autumn. Not suitable near bushland or pasture.
