Picture of plant
Verbena bonariensis
Purple Top

Rose-violet flowers bloom all summer to frost giving long lasting color to the garden. Looks great massed to form a sea of blooms dancing with butterflies or when allowed to mingle with other perennials or shrubs. If left unpruned, the long stems sway in the breeze for a very nice see through effect; cut back it will take on a compact shrublike appearance. Full sun. Ht 3-4'. Reseeds in favorable conditions. Deadhead or allow for new seedlings. I personally like the way it scatters here and there about the garden.
Deer resistant
