Hoary Vervain grows thickly featuring gray-green foliage that compliments surrounding greenery, and blooming all summer long Verbena Stricta attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Vervain Hoary is grown in perennial gardens, borders, prairies, native gardens, and meadows. Verbena Stricta seeds need a few weeks exposure to cool moist stratification before germination, so plant seeds in late fall/winter or cool moist stratify before planting.
