Verbena Bonariensis. Cottage Garden Border Plant with so many planting opportunities.

Verbena berneriensis is the perfect plant if you want to create a border without barriers. Now this one grows really tall and slim but it supports itself so it's a really great chorus member with other plants. Great at the back of a border, great for just breaking down harsh edges like this and softening them and a plant that flowers all summer long. Verbena berneriensis is really drought tolerant when established so it doesn't flop when it gets a little bit dry. It loves full sun and you just saw it be there. The pollinators absolutely adore it. Verbena berneriensis is like really low maintenance as well so in terms of care I feed it a little bit during the summer. I don't deadhead it. I leave the old flowers on over the winter because they look beautiful. They create gorgeous winter interest and they're great for the insects as well and then in I'm going to say early spring, March time when you start seeing new growth from the base I chop them right back and let them regrow every single year. Oh and as a bonus if you leave the old flowers on they often self-seed. I started off with a pack of six, I now have dozens. You can buy these as single plants in nine centimetre pots or you can purchase them in sets of three and I think the more the merrier because it's a great plant in terms of form and well-being.
