Verbena Bonnie Blue is a compact reinterpretation of the renowned Verbena bonariensis. This smaller version retains all the charm of its taller relative, showcasing delicate clusters of lavender-blue flowers. Designed for modern gardens and smaller spaces, it’s an embodiment of grace without the requirement of vast space.
Its blooms rise above slender, almost ethereal stems, dancing lightly with the breeze, making it a mesmerising focal point. Beyond its visual appeal, this verbena variety thrives in a myriad of conditions, making it a favourite for both novice gardeners and seasoned horticulturists.
Perfectly fitting into mixed borders, its smaller stature offers layering opportunities, creating depth and texture amidst other perennials. When in full bloom, the Verbena Bonnie Blue serves as a magnet for pollinators, inviting a symphony of bees and butterflies, adding life and movement to your garden sanctuary.
