Unidentified Vervain Looked Pretty Today July 6, 2024

 My friend Connie gave me seeds of this vervain.  Maybe it is Texas Vervain, I don't know.  But it is very showy when it is in bloom.  It responds well to cutting back the spent flower heads, which are thick with seeds.  It will bloom pretty profusely all summer if you deadhead.  No worries on cutting away all the seeds before they ripen.  You will end the season with plenty of seeds to spread around.  It gets really big if you let it, so keep an eye out for it.
