Verbena canadensis

Glandularia canadensis), commonly known as rose mock vervain,[2] rose verbena,[3] clump verbena[4] or rose vervain[5] is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant in the verbena family (Verbenaceae) with showy pink to purple flowers..

[1] This species is widely cultivated as an ornamental, and naturalized populations have been established outside its native range, such as in the northeastern U.S.[6][7] V. canadensis is a perennial herb[8] that grows low to the ground, typically to about 1 foot (30 cm) high.

[4] Flowers are pink to purple, and consist of a tubular corolla that opens up into 4 or 5 spreading lobes.

[8] Its natural habitat is in sunny areas such as glades, forest openings, and on bluffs.

[11] In some areas, the presence of Verbena canadensis is indicative of high-quality natural communities.
