Graceful, glowing, and wonderfully pollinator-friendly, Verbena lilacina ‘Paseo Rancho’ is a striking perennial verbena with vibrant pink-magenta blooms that bring color and movement to the garden. Its airy clusters of flowers appear over a long season, lighting up borders, habitat plantings, dry gardens, and mixed shrub beds with cheerful, nectar-rich color.

Also known as lilac verbena or Cedros Island verbena, ‘Paseo Rancho’ has a relaxed, natural habit that looks beautiful woven among sages, buckwheats, grasses, yarrows, and other water-wise perennials. The bright blooms are especially attractive to butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects, making it a smart choice for pollinator gardens and wildlife-friendly landscapes. Its soft texture and vivid color also work beautifully in cottage-style plantings and large containers.

Plant Verbena lilacina ‘Paseo Rancho’ in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. Once established, it is low maintenance and water-wise, with occasional trimming encouraging fresh growth and more bloom. Colorful, easy, and habitat-rich, it is a lovely addition to our Shrubs & Trees collection.
