Verbena hasata

Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata) is a tall, upright perennial native to moist prairies, streambanks, and wet meadows. It typically grows 2-6 feet tall and produces slender spikes of small blue-violet flowers from mid to late summer. Blue Vervain thrives in full sun to partial sun and prefers moist to wet soils, though it can tolerate medium soils as well. This plant is well-suited for rain gardens or areas with consistently moist conditions, but it can also handle occasional drought once established. Blue Vervain is valued for its ability to attract pollinators and its adaptability to a range of garden settings.
