Verbena stricta, commonly known as Hoary Vervain, is a tall, upright perennial with distinctive silver-gray foliage that complements its striking spikes of purple-blue flowers. The plant produces dense clusters of small tubular blooms that attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to pollinator-friendly gardens. Hoary Vervain thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, and it is particularly well-suited to dry, rocky conditions once established. This hardy, drought-tolerant plant adds vertical interest to garden beds and naturalized landscapes, with its tall stems reaching toward the sky. With its long-lasting blooms and rugged nature, Verbena stricta offers both beauty and resilience, thriving in a variety of garden settings.
