Verbena is a genus of flowering plants in the family Verbenaceae, known for its clusters of small, vibrant flowers that bloom in shades of purple, pink, red, and white. These hardy perennials or annuals thrive in full sunlight and well-drained soil, making them ideal for garden beds, borders, hanging baskets, and containers. Verbena’s long-lasting blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds, adding a lively splash of color to gardens and outdoor spaces throughout the growing season.
