Purpletop Vervain
Verbena bonariensis
A butterfly favorite and great for cutting!
AKA Brazilian Vervain or Verbena. A true pollinator magnet! Butterflies love these fuzzy landing pads of violet flowers borne aloft by tall, wiry, branching stems. An excellent cut flower as well, the plants benefit from deadheading and will keep blooming until frost. As a tender perennial that is not winter hardy, it is grown as an annual in colder climates–but it will readily self sow in place.
