Verbena bipinnatifida

Verbena bipinnatifida
In the United States: Native · also called Prairie verbena, Dakota mock vervain

Honeybees are drawn to the nectar-rich tubular flowers of this sprawling perennial, providing a steady supply of forage over an extended season. Blooming peaks in late spring to early summer in temperate zones, with intermittent flushes continuing into fall depending on rainfall and temperature. It thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, forming low mats that require minimal maintenance but may need division every few years to prevent woody decline.
