Swamp Verbena, also known as Blue Vervain, is an easy-to-grow North American native perennial that offers an attractive and graceful upright and strong vertical accent gardens almost anywhere in the United States (USDA Zones 3-9). As the name Swamp Verbena suggests, this perennial likes wet, even soggy, conditions but also will grow in garden soils with average moisture. In summer, candelabra-like spikes bearing pretty flowers in a shades of violet-blue are produced atop tall, sturdy square stems up to 5 feet tall that are clothed with attractive, elongated, toothed green leaves. The small, tubular flowers bloom from the bottom of the spike up from mid to late summer attracting butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial pollinators.
