Notes
'Homestead Purple' rose verbena (Glandularia canadensis 'Homestead Purple') is a perennial for borders, containers, rock gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. It grows fast and spreads 24 to 36 inches wide, so give it room. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the pink to purple blooms.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan, Silver feather grass, and Orange daylily.
