A low-growing plant for most of the year until summer, when it will produce flower spikes up to 80cm tall. Flowers are small, lavender-coloured and have little scent. They open over a long period, so that at any one time, only a few are open on each spike. Butterflies and many other insects find them attractive.
Vervain has long been associated with divine and other supernatural forces and was held sacred by the Druids and the Romans.
