Producing rich shades of purple, mauve, ruby, pink and white, verbena provides valuable support for wildlife in late summer and autumn, especially when planted alongside dahlias, asters and phacelia. Here's everything you need to know about it:

💜 Its clusters of small, nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to butterflies, bees, hoverflies and moths, making it one of the best plants for a pollinator-friendly border.

💜 Often described as a "butterfly magnet", the flat-topped flowers provide convenient landing platforms for butterflies while they feed.

💜 Its exceptionally long flowering season, from summer into autumn, provides a valuable nectar source when many other flowers are beginning to fade.

💜 Native to South America, particularly Argentina and neighbouring regions, its tall, airy stems can reach 1.5-2m or more, creating height without blocking views of surrounding plants.

💜 It readily self-seeds, often appearing elsewhere in the garden, and thrives in full sun, warmth and well-drained soil.
