Lollipop Tall Verbena is a mounding basal-form herbaceous perennial with serrated deep green lance-like leaves. The wiry branched steams are lightly leafed and have small clusters of rose-violet flowers that bloom on the branch tips from midsummer to fall, attracting butterflies. Grows best with full sun and well-drained soils. Drought tolerant.
