Characteristics: Perennial 60-120 cm
Seed per packet: Approx. 1,000

Blue Vervain grows between 60 and 120 cm tall. Its blue-lavender flowers occur in spikes at the tops of the branches. Blue vervain is a good component for reclamation and pollinator mixes for moister sites. It attracts a wide array of native bees and butterflies.
Plants typically self-seed in the garden, dropping their seeds on the soil at the end of the season; if left undisturbed, they may germinate and grow the following season.
Deadheading will prolong blooming.
Adaptable to most well-drained garden soils in an open sunny position. Performs well in well-drained ordinary soils
Verbena hastata, commonly known as blue vervain, is a perennial flowering plant in the verbenaceae family. It grows throughout the United States and much of southern Canada.

- As with all seeds, they must have adequate water to keep them moist but not too wet.
