Verbena bonariensis is a perennial flowering plant native to South America, particularly Argentina and Brazil. It is known for its tall, slender stems that can reach heights of up to 4 feet. The plant produces clusters of small, purple flowers that bloom from summer to fall, attracting various pollinators like butterflies and bees. This species thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun, making it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes. Verbena bonariensis is often used in borders and as a filler in flower beds due to its airy appearance and ability to tolerate drought conditions.
