“FOR 2027” Verbena (Blue vervain) – native in NS

Blue vervain (verbena hastata)

Blue vervain is indigenous to the Nova Scotia, naturally occurring in damp habitats like wet meadows, swampy areas, and along stream or river banks.

Makes for a great meadow planting when intermixed with other species. The tall blue/purple flower spikes stand above other plants and bloom for an extended period of time, from summer through fall.

Bumblebees are among the important pollinators. In ancient times the plant was thought to be a cure-all among medicinal plants and the genus name is Latin for “sacred plant.”

Reaches a height of 3 to 4 feet with upright, branching stems.
