In Melbourne and Victorian gardens, Verbenas are popular flowering perennials known for their vibrant colours, compact growth habit, and fragrant blooms. They come in various shades of purple, pink, red, and white, adding a lively touch to garden beds, borders, and containers. Verbenas thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them suitable for Australian climates. These low-maintenance plants attract butterflies and other pollinators, creating a lively and colourful garden display throughout the summer season.
