Verbena lilacina ‘De La Mina’, De La Mina Verbena
Out of stock
De La Mina is an adaptable mounding selection of verbena from Cedros Island. It produces mounds of delicate green foliage and dark purple blossoms with lavender streaks; the blossoms are lightly scented. Though there are more flowers in the spring, this plant blooms throughout most of the year which attracts butterflies throughout the year.
This small evergreen shrub grows to about 2 ft high and spreads to about 4 ft. It does best in well drained soils but will tolerate clay soil provided it isn’t over-watered. This is a very attractive and versatile plant for any flower border, butterfly garden or in containers on a patio. To maintain a dense form shear lightly in summer and remove spent flowers. Will flower most of the year. Grows best in loamy, medium draining soil. Prefers sun in coastal sites, and part shade in inland sites. Selected for the garden and introduced by Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.
