Verbena lilacina
De La Mina

Love bloom-filled perennials but not constant watering? Verbena lilacina ‘De La Mina’ is a superb California native shrub for sunny, low-water gardens, bursting into rich lavender-blue flower clusters in spring and continuing with color through the year in mild climates. The blooms are fragrant, pollinator-friendly, and held above finely cut, aromatic green foliage for a soft, airy look.

Also known as Cedros Island verbena, ‘De La Mina’ grows about 2–3' tall and wide, making it an excellent choice for dry borders, native plant gardens, habitat plantings, slopes, pathways, and large containers. Butterflies adore the nectar-rich flowers, and the plant’s graceful habit makes it easy to weave among sages, buckwheats, yarrow, grasses, and other water-wise shrubs and perennials.

Plant Verbena lilacina ‘De La Mina’ in full sun with well-drained soil. It is tough, drought tolerant once established, and happiest with occasional deep watering rather than frequent fussing. Shear lightly after heavy bloom to keep plants dense and fresh. Explore more garden-worthy shrubs in our Shrubs & Trees collection.
