Posted on November 18, 2023November 18, 2023 by larksparrow11/18/2023 prairie verbena yay! I think the seed from home being fresh helped, as one came up very quickly this summer. All of these happened after we bought two plants at the native plant festival haha. This verbena seed took almost a year I think to come up, and now two little seedlings are up too. So the many of them just want to take their own time. Its leaves are different. More like I expected for Verbena halei but I had it labeled where I thought it was prairie. We shall find out!
Both species Claire mentioned would be native. https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=glbi2 The V. halei also which around here is wispy as it shoots up, easy to miss. https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=veha And yeah Claire for growing both of them and sharing with us!

Yes like mom said both are native. I accidentally planted a non native moss verbena a while back and now have to keep pulling up its seedlings grr. But I know where those are. Loading... Reply
Oh interesting, thank you! I can’t remember where I got those seeds. Maybe given to me. Loading... Reply
Is the top one our native verbena? Looks like what comes up all over my yard.

The second photo looks like it might be V. pumila, dwarf verbena.

Correction – there’s been a taxonomic change. It’s now Glandularia pumila.
