Vervain (Verbena sp.)

Verbena - Wikipedia

Duration: Annual or Perennial Native to: North AmericaEdibility: Used in traditional medicineStatus in Yard: One individual by the west fence

I have one vervain in the back yard, near the west fence. It was nearly killed in the freeze of January 6-7, but it has survived in a damaged state. It was already quite small on January 2, 2017. I have an out of focus photograph from October 2013, showing what I think is a vervain with blue flowers. It could be the same individual. I have not been able to determine the species.

The vervain was flowering on June 25, 2017.
