10 Seeds Moss Verbena Verbena tenuisecta Trailing Groundcover

Moss Verbena (Verbena tenuisecta) is a low-growing, spreading perennial grown for its finely cut, feathery green foliage and clusters of small, lavender-purple flowers that bloom over a long season. It forms a soft, trailing mat that works well in rock gardens, borders, and mixed plantings where a light, airy texture is desired. It is often chosen for its ability to knit together bare patches and spill gently over edges.
This plant is primarily ornamental, valued for its dense ground-covering habit and continuous flowering that draws attention in beds, pots, and containers. It performs best in full sun with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Space plants to allow their trailing stems to spread naturally. Trim lightly after peak bloom to encourage fresh growth and a tidier form.
