Verbena canadensis (syn. Glandularia canadensis), commonly known as rose mock vervain,[2]rose verbena,[3]clump verbena[4] or rose vervain[5] is a perennialherbaceousflowering plant in the verbena family (Verbenaceae) with showy pink to purple flowers. It is native to the eastern and south-central areas of the United States.[1] This species is widely cultivated as an ornamental, and naturalized populations have been established outside its native range, such as in the northeastern U.S.[6][7]
V. canadensis is a perennial herb[8] that grows low to the ground, typically to about 1 foot (30cm) high. Roots will form where stems touch the ground, and over time the plant will spread to form a low mound.[9] Leaves, up to 8 centimetres (3in)long, are dark green on the upper surface and lighter green below. Leaves are semi-evergreen, opposite and pinnately-lobed.[4] Flowers are pink to purple, and consist of a tubular corolla that opens up into 4 or 5 spreading lobes. Flowers bloom in the spring and can persist until fall.[7] The plant attracts butterflies, rabbits, and deer.[8]
Distribution and habitat
Its natural habitat is in sunny areas such as glades, forest openings, and on bluffs.[7][10] It is tolerant of dry conditions.[11] In some areas, the presence of Verbena canadensis is indicative of high-quality natural communities.[10]
