The Verbena 'Meteor Shower' is a remarkable annual known for its small, purplish-lavender flowers grouped in airy clusters. The inflorescences appear at the end of long, slender stems, creating a light and natural effect, almost like a cloud of flowers floating above the foliage.
The plant forms a flexible, well-branched clump, ideal for flowerbeds, borders, and large containers. It adds a lot of movement to landscaping and integrates easily into natural or country-style gardens.
Very heat and full sun tolerant, this verbena blooms profusely all summer until the first frosts.
Attracts pollinators, especially butterflies
