Very pretty banner @Fleur569 ! Thumbs up
I like the colors, contrast, & lighting.

BTW, I have a similar verbena, though not as pretty foliage.

I had seen it for years in front of a neighbor's & at the sides of his driveway. It grows in the hardest soil with virtually no organic matter or water. but came back every year, and bloomed profusely & freely. You'd never know it was there when it was dormant.
(maybe it just re-seeded?)

The neighbor was gracious enough to share it with me, so now we have some, too. Smiling

Ahh, a well-timed Lenten purple banner for Ash Wednesday. Some even look hole-y. And I think, if you look hard enough, you can even find a heart or two. Happy Valentine's Day to you, Queen Fleur. Lovey dubby

@Marilyn, @EscondidoCal
The closest description I can give is that it is a Verbena canadensis, a straight species, not hybrid, which does re-seed itself, and is not a fuss button. Will even grow at the edge of a driveway, as you can see from the banner.
