You don’t need to relegate verbena to the back of your border to make best use of it…
Setting seed freely as it does, my verbena pops up all over the garden. Lucky for me then that its upright habit allows it to grow almost anywhere without really interfering with the existing planting.
Long-flowering and drought-tolerant, this plant rivals even Buddleja as a butterfly lure, and its open transparent habit makes it just as useful in the middle of the border as it is as the back, despite its looming height.
