Sand Verbena

Sand Verbena


Following ample winter rains, Desert Sand Verbena may carpet miles of desert with pink.


Sand Verbena is an annual plant belonging to the Four-o’clock Family, Nyctaginaceae. It grows 20 to 60 centimetres tall, branching near the base and spreading along the ground except for the stems tips which turn upwards. Stems and leaf stalks are covered with sticky hairs. Leaves are in pairs on the stem with stalks up to three centimetres long, with smooth-edged, distinctly veined, oblong blades about one to three centimetres wide by two to six centimetres long. Leaves are narrowly wedge-shaped where they attach to the stalk.
