Glandularia bipinnatifida
Also known as Prairie Verbena, Purple Prairie Verbena, Dakota Vervain, Dakota Mock Vervain, Moradilla, Alfombrilla
Glandularia bipinnatifida, also known as Dakota mock vervain, prairie verbena, and Moradilla, is a flowering plant belonging to the verbena family (Verbenaceae). This plant species is native to North America and is found in the United States, extending south to Nicaragua. It is commonly found in the Great Plains and the Blackland Prairies of the Southeast in the United States, while elsewhere in North America, it is occasionally found as a non-persisting waif. Its natural habitat is in open grassy areas, including prairies. It can be found in both high-quality, naturally disturbed communities and regions.
Glandularia bipinnatifida is a herbaceous or semi-woody perennial that produces pink or purple flowers primarily in the spring, but it can bloom anytime throughout the growing season. Its leaves are finely dissected into 1-4 mm broad segments. It can be distinguished from the similar-looking Glandularia pulchella by its long flower bracts and broader leaf segments.

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.
