Pink Sand Verbena

Pink Sand Verbena grows best in fast draining soils with low moisture, and may be summer semi-deciduous under stress. It is commonly used in bee gardens, butterfly gardens, and as a colorful carpet-like ground cover. The striking flowers are especially fragrant at night and are very attractive to moths.
