Plant description

From early summer to early autumn, this upright perennial showcases elegant, candelabra-like spikes of white flowers, blooming profusely above its toothed green foliage. Verbena hastata 'Alba' forms a clump with branching stems and is ideal for creating drifts in mixed perennial borders or prairie plantings. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and deadheading will encourage additional blooms throughout its flowering period. Perfect for adding architectural interest to gardens, it also serves well as a cut flower and attracts beneficial pollinators.

How to care for Verbena hastata Alba:

In cold conditions established clumps can suffer dieback if cut back in autumn, so it's best to leave the plant until spring and cut back the old growth when you see the new shoots emerging at the base. Also it's a good idea to mulch around the base of the plant with a deep, dry mulch in winter to help protect the plant.

Please note:

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
