Verbena lilacina 'Paseo Rancho' - Cedros Island Verbena

Description

A wonderful selection of the Cedros Island Verbena, an endemic of Baja California (considered part of the floristic province of California).  Much like the popular selection 'De La Mina' it has a tight mounding habit to 3' high and 4' wide, and fine textured, verdant green foliage- but flowers are a very pale lavender.  Really showy with a long bloom period and heavenly fragrance, it is a great attraction for pollinators.  Easy to grow and very drought tolerant, but will look more lush with some summer water.  Plant with other Verbena for a two-tone effect, or against a Ceanothus for a parade of blue and purple!
