(Verbena stricta)

Blue spikes of flowers adorn this resilient prairie plant. Summer blooming with a long bloom time. Short-lived perennial, self-seeds readily. Seeds are a staple for many small creatures and birds that rely on this food source. The gray-green, fuzzy leaves are the larval host for the Common Buckeye Butterfly. Full to partial sun, medium to dry soil, grows 2-3’ tall.
