Verbena bonariensis is grown for movement, height, and pollinator value. Tall, wiry stems rise well above surrounding plants and carry clusters of tiny purple flowers that seem to float in the garden. The open structure lets light pass through, making it easy to layer into beds without blocking what’s behind it.
Flowering begins in summer and continues steadily through the growing season, providing a long-lasting nectar source for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Despite its height, the plant stays narrow and upright, adding vertical interest without feeling heavy or crowded.
In warm climates, Verbena bonariensis is a reliable herbaceous perennial. In colder regions, it is commonly grown as a fast-growing annual or allowed to self-seed lightly where conditions allow.
