Argentinian Vervain or PurpleTop Vervain stands out for its abundant and beautiful flowers. They contain a sweet nectar that attracts butterflies, bees and other insects that in turn will pollinate other plants in the garden. So not only will it make your garden a spectacular place but it will play a fundamental role as a pollinator.
Excellent plant for borders, clumps, flowerbeds, cut flowers and dried flowers arrangements. It requires little care. Water moderately but regularly. Fertilize once a year. It can be grown as an annual.
Perennial plant about 120 cm tall with a thin stem and few leaves. Abundant purple, fragrant flowers blooming all summer until autumn.
