Prairie Verbena (Glandularia bipinnatifida) is a versatile, low-growing perennial known for its clusters of vibrant pink, lavender, or purple flowers that bloom profusely atop stems with finely divided leaves. Often forming dense ground cover, this plant creates eye-catching displays of color across open fields and gardens. Tolerant of various soils, from sandy to clay, Prairie Verbena thrives in sunny, well-drained spots, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes. It attracts birds and pollinators while offering high deer resistance, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
