Notes
'Superbena Sparkling Amethyst' hillside vervain (Verbena 'Superbena Sparkling Amethyst') is an annual for borders, containers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Purple flowers with a white eye attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It stays under 12 inches tall and spreads 18 to 30 inches.
