Possibly the finest butterfly plant in the Somerset garden — from late spring until first frost, there is almost always something feeding on it. In traditional herbalism, verbena has been used as a calming tea; the tall, airy stems carry lacy purple flowers that butterflies cannot resist. It self-seeds regularly and you will find it appearing in new corners each year, always where it is welcome. It self-seeds generously and since you cannot grow enough of it, let it do so freely.
