Verbena ‘Fragrant Verbena’

Common Name:
Fragrant Verbena

Description:
Verbena ‘Fragrant Verbena’ is a delightfully scented, low-growing perennial celebrated for its clusters of soft lavender to violet blooms and sweet perfume. Unlike many other verbenas, this variety has been selected specifically for its aromatic qualities, making it ideal for sensory gardens, borders, and potted displays where its scent can be fully appreciated. It forms a spreading mat of fine-textured green foliage, with flowering continuing from late spring well into autumn. ‘Fragrant Verbena’ thrives in Melbourne’s climate, favouring full sun and well-drained soil, and tolerates dry conditions once established. It's a magnet for bees and butterflies, providing months of nectar-rich blooms. This variety is perfect for trailing over walls or container edges, weaving through cottage gardens, or softening the edges of paths. Regular deadheading will encourage continued flowering throughout the season.
