$9.99
Slowly creeping, ground-covering perennial for sunny gardens. Wide, clusters of fresh rose-purple flowers continuously from May till the summer heat, when it slows down and reblooms with somewhat cooler late summer temps.
Blooming Time: Spring to early summer, then reblooms in late summer
Size: 1' tall x 2' wide
USDA Zones: Hardy in zones 5-9.
Culture: Full sun, virtually any soil, that is not wet or waterlogged - average soils, heavier, but drier soils, drier clay, rocky, sandy, gritty soils with average moisture to dry. Prefers some drainage (soil amended with some sand or fine gravel, but can handle clay, if it is dry clay).
Moisture Needs: average to drier
Origin: We got this plant from Rita Randolph - owner of Rita's Rare Plants (Jackson, TN). This plant was discovered by Rita's friend Cathy as a vigorous seedling of V. canadensis on the compost heap. Rescued, propagated and kept in culture by Rita, named after Cathy. It's an honor to share this plant with you!
Natural area of this very showy wildflower is wide, reaching from deep south to north, also from central USA to the east coast - that's why the hardiness differs so much and plants from southern areas act like true annuals, while the "northerners" are perennials. See the USDA distribution map.
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes/yes (bitter and coarse leaves)
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: It is not pollinator magnet, but occasionally attracts some pollinators.
Attracts Hummingbirds: sometimes
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
Plant Combinations: Excellent for the front of a sunny borders with average to dry soil.
Looks very good with yellow flowers (Coreopsis, Rudbeckia hirta, Rudbeckia missouriensis, new shorter cultivars of Rudbeckia), but other perennial comapions can be Agastache, Asclepias (A. tuberosa, verticilata), Gaura, Nepeta, shorter Liatris, Lavandula, Penstemon, and others, or grasses like Eragrostis, Muhlebergia, Koleria cristata,Sporobolus and Schizachyrium scoparium.

Lovely vigorous plant Verbena canadensis
Like every plant I've ordered from US Perennials, the 'Cathy's Candy' verbena I received is healthy and vigorous. It has blooms and buds, though it's late in the season. The hot purple-pink color is great. Looking forward to seeing it flourish next year.
