Verbena 'Lollipop'

Verbena bonariensis
A short and sweet form of tall verbena, Lollipop has the same strong, wiry stems holding clusters of lavender blooms. A feast for diverse pollinators, including migrating Monarchs, it continues in bloom late in the season. Perfect for containers or the garden's edge and especially lovely in groups.
