I have these all over the garden. It's at this time of year that they suddenly start shooting upwards. They self seed and pop up in funny places. A mecca for pollinators, especially Butterflies. Here in Cornwall, they flower from now until November. They may look fragile, but don't be fooled. They are pretty hardy, and can take a lot of buffeting by the elements.
I photgraphed these this morning. They are by my greenhouse, to encourage the pollinators to visit. I loved how the sun seemed to illuminate them. They remain my first gardening love.

They're very pretty. I hadn't ever had verbenas before this year but I like them; one of them in particular is growing quite lushly in a pot.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful. My neighbour has some and it's always covered in bees. I shall try and squeeze on in somewhere next year I think.
ReplyDeleteI love these verbena bonariensis.I used to have them in my old garden and the nice thing is they spring up everywhere. They arent a nuisance though and the bees and butterflies love them.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you love them so much. They look amazing lit by the sun like that. I've never grown them - thanks for the tip. xx
ReplyDeleteWe have this plant in our garden and love it to. I can believe you have it flowering already! We have a gravel garden and it loves setting seed there.

They look so beautiful in the sun, I love verbena in every form, but have never grown them from seed. Beautiful xo
