Verbena goodingii (Gooding's Verbena)

Gooding's Verbena is a perennial flowering plant native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It has clusters of small, tubular, lavender-blue flowers that bloom from spring to fall. The plant forms a low mound of dark green, finely textured foliage that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant flowers, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. Gooding's Verbena is drought-tolerant and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil.
