The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

Verbena stricta, Hoary Vervain

Verbena stricta

Hoary Vervain

Still new to my gardens, grown from seeds from the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library

  • Full sun to light shade
  • Average to dry soils
  • 2' in height, 10' to 12" wide
  • Ontario Native, Dry Garden and Meadow Ecosystems

At just a couple of feet in height, this species is quite a bit smaller than Blue Vervain and is well suited to dry meadows and hot, sunny gardens.
