Verbena rigida

Polaris

Cut to ground in winter

Verbena rigida 'Polaris' is a tough, low-growing perennial popular in Australia for its masses of silvery-lilac flowers, drought tolerance, and ability to attract pollinators, making it ideal for borders, rockeries, or as a weed-suppressing groundcover, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, though it readily self-seeds and can spread, requiring pruning after flowering.
