Local Ecotype
A rugged and reliable gem of a wildflower. Rose vervain begins blooming as early as late March and continues until June. Its low growth can earn it a spot in any garden, and its affinity for thin, dry soils make it a premium choice for rock gardens. The blooms attract primarily long-tongued bees, moths, and butterflies.
In the wild, Rose vervain is found in a variety of dry and often rocky habitats like open upland forests, sandy or rocky prairies, glades, and rocky hillsides. It be grown in full sun to light shade, and doesn’t like overcrowding by taller neighboring plants. Under good conditions, it can form a sprawling clump several feet wide. The stems often root where they touch moist soil, forming vegetative colonies.
