The silvery foliage of the deciduous shrub Rubus thibetanus (ghost bramble) looked great with the late flowers of Verbena bonariensis (purple top, Argentinian vervain, South American vervain) emerging from the thicket of purplish prickly stems heavily bloomed white in winter.

Verbena bonariensis

[drhoz]

#2170 - Verbena bonariensis - Purpletop

'Sacred Bough from Buenos Aires'. The common name for the genus, vervain, comes from the Celtic name, ‘ferfain'. AKA purpletop vervain, clustertop vervain, Argentinian vervain, tall verbena or pretty verbena. Synonyms include Verbena bonariensis f. albiflora, Verbena bonariensis var. conglomerata , Verbena bonariensis var. longibracteata, Verbena bonariensis f. robustior, Verbena elongata, Verbena inamoena, Verbena intercedens, and Verbena trichotoma. Originally described by Linnaeus.

Another escaped ornamental, originating in the tropics of South America. Potentially an invasive species and noxious weed in favorable habitats, because it self-seeds at the drop of a hat. Already naturalized in a number of southern United States and Hawaii, tropical and southern Africa, temperate Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Azores and Madeira archipelagos, the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, the West Indies, and the Mascarene Islands. Also on the invasive species watchlist for Washington state, and already considered a weed in Fiji, New Guinea and other South Pacific islands.

Vervains have a pretty crowded historical use in European religious ritual and folklore. Pliny the Elder, for example, notes that Verbena was used on the alters of Jupiter, and that

"the Magi especially make the maddest statements about the plant: that [among other things] a circle must be drawn with iron round the plant".

In a number of Central and Eastern European languages that association wth iron is rettained in the common name - for example the Dutch IJzerhard ("iron-hard"), German Echtes Eisenkraut ("true ironherb"), and Hungarian vasfű ("iron grass"). Early Christian folklore stated that V. officinalis was used to staunch Jesus' wounds and the plant was consequently called "holy herb" or "Devil's bane".

Confession: I had no idea that Verbena bonariensis had anything to do with Buenos Aires, but this South American plant does take its botanical name from the capital city of Argentina, and one of its common names in English is Argentinian vervain. I had this flower at the castle 15 years ago, but it did even better at Corte Eremo, between 2012 and 2015, where it loved to grow in the gravel drives.

The short-lived perennial Verbena bonariensis (purpletop vervain, clustertop vervain, Argentinian vervain) is a great plant for a late summer and early autumn display. In this sunny front garden it was thriving on a well drained soil and contrasted with the dark purple foliage of Sambucus nigra 'Black Lace' (elder). Mature plants can succumb to the winter but self-sown seedlings often survive.

Verbena Bonariensis 🌻

A great addition to an herbaceous border, a gravel garden and prairie-style planting schemes with ornamental grasses is Verbena bonariensis (Argentinian vervain). It thrives in a moist but well-drained soil in full sun. As a short-lived perennial plants will self-seed freely, but in colder regions they may need protection from frost.

Even though summer is over the Verbena bonariensis (purple top, Argentinian vervain, South American vervain) is still creating a display and casting some great shadows on the adjacent paving. This tall, narrow, short-lived perennial thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun and seeds into gravel paths and drives. It has good nectar supplies for pollinators and attracts butterflies.
