Verbena Lavender Lace is an exciting new variety that blends the delicate, airy qualities of Verbena bonariensis with the elegant, tapered flower spires of Verbena hastata, all in a striking pink hue. Unlike its taller relatives, this variety forms more compact, manageable plants, making it perfect for smaller spaces. The slender, lavender-pink flower spikes are held aloft on dark, wiry stems, beautifully complemented by small, serrated leaves that take on a purple sheen, especially when young. With a long flowering period from June through September, Verbena Lavender Lace is not only a showstopper but also highly resilient, thriving in drought conditions and poor soils. Height and spread: 60cm (24in).
