Verbena hastata 'White Spires'

A tall, upright perennial with a prairie-style self-seeding habit, ideal for low-maintenance naturalistic planting styles. 

- From late June until September, pure white flowers are produced from green buds in abundance in clustered upright spires, adding plenty of vertical structure and interest.

- Its mid-green foliage forms a dense mound of branching stems at the base of the plant.

- Requires well draining soil in a full sun position, and does not like areas that are too wet in the winter months. It can add stunning, eye-catching focal points and continuity with its flowering spikes. A great low-maintenance addition to cottage, wildlife and prairie gardens, flower beds and mixed borders, and also thrives in coastal areas. It can also make an excellent cut flower.

- Flowers are a magnet for butterflies, bees, hoverflies and other beneficial pollinators.

- Can freely self-seed if allowed, so can spread quite a bit through beds. To avoid this, deadhead spent flowers regularly before they go to seed. This will also help to prolong its flowering time. 

- Height and Spread approx. 120-150cm x 60-80cm. 

- Supplied in a 9cm pot
