Description
🌞Western Vervain (Verbena lasiostachys) is a California native species that is drought tolerant and grows well in nutrient deficient / low organic matter soils. Produces elegant spires of light purple flowers that make an excellent forage for bees and butterflies – not to mention other native pollinators.
