Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' - 2026

Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' is a compact and charming form of the classic species, offering the same airy elegance in a smaller, more manageable size. It produces slender, branching stems topped with clusters of violet-purple flowers that attract a wide variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Its see-through habit allows it to blend beautifully with other perennials and ornamental grasses, adding height and texture without dominating the border. The long flowering season ensures continuous colour from mid-summer through to early autumn.

Ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens, or containers, 'Lollipop' thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates dry conditions once established. It’s particularly well suited to smaller gardens where the full-sized Verbena bonariensis might feel overwhelming. This variety self-seeds lightly, creating a naturalised effect without becoming invasive. Easy to grow and low in maintenance, it’s a reliable and wildlife-friendly choice that brings a graceful, ethereal quality to any planting scheme.
