100 White Vervain Seeds Heirloom Native Wildflower Verbena urticifolia Garden Planting
White Vervain (Verbena urticifolia) is a native North American wildflower grown for its slender branching stems and delicate spikes of tiny white flowers that appear through summer into early fall. This heirloom selection offers an airy, understated look for meadow plantings, pollinator gardens, and naturalized areas, and it returns reliably from seed each season.
The fine-textured blooms blend well into wildflower mixes, cottage borders, and wildlife-friendly landscapes, where their subtle color pairs nicely with coneflowers, grasses, and other meadow companions. Plants prefer consistent moisture while establishing and tolerate a range of average garden soils once settled. Allow seed heads to mature if you want the plants to self-sow and naturalize.
