Verbena bonariensis 'Purple Haze'
Why I love this plant
A tall plant that is great for pollinators. It can grow as tall as 1.5m so is great at the back of a bed or tied on to a trellis. PERFECT in a wild planting scheme and if planted in swathes. This variety is approximately 20% shorter than other Verbenas.
