Verbena tenuisecta
Moss verbena is a type of ground cover native to South America. It is well adapted to sunny, hot, and dry environments. This tough plant can be grown on slopes and banks, in rock gardens, containers, and in hanging baskets.
It produces small, colorful flowers grouped in large clusters at the end of thin stems. Butterflies are drawn to the abundant flowers. When grown in full sun, moss verbena's fern-like leaves stay close to the ground and only grow to one foot when grown in the shade.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
