It is a very common and widely used perennial plant: being easy to grow and highly ornamental, it is often used to add colour and lightness to a \u003cstrong\u003eperennial border\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerbena bonariensis grows on long, rigid stems with crinkled green foliage. The foliage is not particularly dense, giving the plant a light and airy appearance. In spring and autumn, \u003cstrong\u003eVerbena bonariensis flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e appear: they are tiny, very pretty light purple florets clustered in dome-shaped inflorescences about 4\/5 cm in diameter. These nectar-rich flowers are highly popular with butterflies and pollinating insects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis species of verbena loves full sun and well-drained soils. If grown in the milder regions of Italy, its foliage will be semi-evergreen in winter; otherwise, it will be completely deciduous. It can be grown either in the ground or in a pot, but in the latter case, you will need to take particular care to move it to a sheltered location when winter arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerbena bonariensis is the perfect plant for creating borders with a subtle sense of verticality.
