Verbena canadensis ‘Snow Flurry’

We love native plants for their durability. We also love selections of native species that exhibit unique traits that make them improved garden plants. Snow Flurry Verbena is a white-flowered form of our normally pink to purple Rose Verbena. Named by the folks at Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina, it also exhibits a refined habit and excellent longevity. Some gardeners report a lifespan of 10 years or more which is quite impressive for a Verbena. This perennial starts blooming early, often in February, slows in Summer, then reboots in the fall. Like other verbenas, it can be bothered in summer with garden fleahoppers. These are small black insects remarkably similar to aphids. Snow Flurry Verbena is not eaten by deer or rabbits and gets a lot of pollinator action for a white flowered plant.
