Description
Verbena bipinnatifida is an herbaceous or semi-woody perennial.[4] It produces pink or purple flowers primarily in the spring, but can bloom anytime throughout the growing season.[5] Its leaves are finely dissected, into segments that are 1–4 mm wide. It can be distinguished from the similar-looking Verbena tenera by its long flower bracts, and wider leaf segments.[6]
Distribution and habitat
It is native to North America, where its natural range extends from the United States south to Nicaragua.[7] In the United States, it is found primarily in the Great Plains and in the Blackland Prairies of the Southeast.[8] Elsewhere in North America, it is occasionally found as a non-persisting waif.[6] Its natural habitat is in open grassy areas, including prairies. It can be found in both high-quality natural communities and in disturbed areas.[6][5]
