Is Verbena bonariensis an annual or perennial?
Comments (23)I grow Homestead Purple, not sure of the scientific name, and it dies back and comes up from the roots each year here in S.E. Louisiana. Just beautiful. I am rooting in my greenhouse so that I can spread it around to other places in my yard. It is one of the first flowers that blooms in the spring and keeps on going all summer and into the fall....See MoreVerbena bonariensis (Tall Verbena)
Comments (2)Florabunda sells those seeds as do Urban Harvest. I grow these plants easily. they even sprout between my interlocking. What are you doing that you have trouble growing these plants/ They should be fine in your zone. If you cast those seeds out now, it will still grow to full flower by summer. My plants germinate from seeds casts about by the previous year's plants. I also amend it further with new seeds. All I do is to sprinkle (not cover) the seeds as it needs sunlight to germinate. ....See MoreVerbena bonariensis Meteor shower
Comments (2)I read that it gets 20-30 inches tall. But compared to the straight species, this definitely looks to have more branching and looks denser. And I suspect the lack of seeds will mean it will bloom more profusely....See MoreHow to grow Verbena bonariensis
Comments (22)They are also very easy to propagate from side shoots. I find them to be quite temperamental when sown in trays of pots (unlike those volunteers which will colonise an area). Anyway, a single plant will easily yield a dozen cuttings without noticing. I just did last minute cuttings of mine (along with scented geraniums.lavender and osteospermums)...See Morefour (9B near 9A)
