Description

Perennial groundcover grows quickly to 2' x 4'. It has rough, dark green leaves and vivid purple flowers spring through summer. When it starts to look ragged, cut it back to the ground. Will even bloom some during winters. Produces color over a long season. Perhaps the hardiest of the verbenas. Native to South America, but it has naturalized across the southwest.

Water Saving Tip:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
