Product Description
Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' (10)ct Quarts
Add a touch of whimsy and vibrant color to your garden with Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop'! This compact variety of the popular Tall Verbena offers the same airy charm and pollinator-attracting power in a smaller, more manageable package.
- Abundant Blooms: 'Lollipop' produces clusters of lavender-purple flowers atop slender, wiry stems. These cheerful blooms, appearing from early summer to frost, create a delightful display that attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators to your garden.
- Compact Habit: Unlike its taller relative, which can reach up to 6 feet tall, 'Lollipop' maintains a more compact and manageable size, typically reaching 2-3 feet in height. This makes it a perfect choice for smaller gardens, borders, and containers where space is limited.
- Airy and Open Form: The slender stems and open branching habit of 'Lollipop' create a sense of airiness and lightness in the garden. This allows it to blend seamlessly with other plants, adding a touch of vertical interest without overwhelming its neighbors.
- Versatile Applications: 'Lollipop' is a versatile addition to any sunny garden. Use it to add height and color to borders, create a whimsical display in cottage gardens, attract pollinators to meadows, or even plant it in containers for a touch of elegance on patios and balconies.
- Easy Care: This Verbena is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal care once established. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage repeat flowering, and a light trim in late winter or early spring helps maintain its shape and vigor.

Other Details
The most important part of the plant is its root system. Healthy roots are the foundation of a healthy, vibrant plant. The type of plug container used is based on the specific needs of the plants. Perennials offered as bare root traditionally perform better when planted as bare root.Planted in a specialized mix, potted plants have well established root systems. Top growth stage will vary depending on the current life cycle and time of year when shipped. In Winter and early Spring dormant plants may be shipped. Dormant plants may be planted right away, even before the last frost date.
Most bare root varieties are field grown for at least one season, though Hemerocallis and Hosta are grown for two seasons. The bulk of the soil is removed during the harvesting process and the tops of most varieties are trimmed back to the crown. They are graded, packed in shredded aspen or sphagnum moss and stored in freezers until ready to be shipped.

Plant information and care is provided in the Overview section, Plant Genus Page and general information is provided in the Planting Care & Guides. Additional questions can be asked on each Plant page.
Plant Spacing: Using the maximum mature spread or width of a plant to guide spacing, ensures space to grow to full size. To fill an area sooner, plant them closer together. Just remember, future thinning or transplanting may be needed.
Water: Keep a close eye on newly planted perennials, especially throughout the first growing year. Most early plant loss is due to too much or too little water!
