Verbena Litoralis Var. Brasiliensis
Coastal verbena, scientifically known as Verbena litoralis var. brasiliensis, is a striking flowering plant native to coastal regions of South America. This perennial species is adapted to thrive in sandy, salty environments, making it a resilient addition to coastal ecosystems. Its vibrant purple blooms appear in late spring and early summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The plant's ability to withstand harsh coastal conditions makes it a valuable species for ecological restoration projects. Despite its beauty, coastal verbena remains relatively obscure, often overlooked in favor of more common flora.
