Hoary Vervain

Verbena stricta. Hoary Vervain is a resilient and striking native wildflower known for its tall, upright spikes of violet-purple blooms that appear from mid-summer into fall. Its softly hairy, gray-green foliage gives it a distinctive "hoary" appearance, making it stand out in prairies, meadows, and native plant gardens. A favorite among pollinators, Hoary Vervain attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects while providing seeds for birds like goldfinches. Drought-tolerant and well-adapted to poor soils, this hardy perennial is an excellent choice for naturalized plantings, pollinator gardens, and anyone looking to bring the beauty and resilience of native prairie species to their landscape.
