Plant of the Week: Blue Vervain (Verbana hastate)


Wild Hyssop
Blue Vervain (Verbana hastae) 
Blue Vervain is another one of those wetland plants that makes a nice addition to a shoreland restoration, rain garden, or other wet spot on your property.  The stems rise out of the snow as if in defiance of winter, and a reminder that summer will come again.  

Also known as common vervain and wild hyssop
