About this plant
Verbena canadensis 'Homestead Purple' is a prolific bloomer, offering a continuous show of rich, reddish-purple flowers that attract butterflies and other pollinators. This vigorous grower forms a dense, spreading mat, making it an excellent choice for groundcover, rock gardens, or spilling over the edges of containers and hanging baskets. Its exceptional hardiness and drought tolerance once established ensure a low-maintenance yet high-impact addition to nearly any landscape. Enjoy months of brilliant color as 'Homestead Purple' blankets your garden with its lovely blossoms. Its fine-textured foliage provides a lush backdrop to the abundant flowers, creating a truly spectacular effect. Perfect for adding a splash of bold color to sunny areas.
Care & maintenance
Easily grown in average, well-drained soils. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage reblooming, though it is not strictly necessary for continuous flowering. While drought tolerant once established, regular watering during prolonged dry spells will help maintain its vigor. Can be cut back in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth.
