Verbena lilacina ‘De La Mina’
This Cedros Island verbena selection forms a tidy, mounding evergreen subshrub roughly 2 to 3 feet tall and as wide or wider, clothed in finely cut, deep green foliage. It performs in full sun with low to moderate water and excellent drainage, holding up well in coastal and inland gardens alike. The standout feature is its nearly year-round display of fragrant, lilac-purple flower clusters that draw butterflies and other pollinators, peaking in the warmer months. Use it for low borders, parking strips, slopes, and pollinator and low-water plantings where long bloom and a compact habit are wanted.
