Glandularia lilacina
Cedros Island verbena is a perennial herb from Cedros Island and the Baja California coast, grown for its lilac to purple flowers and drought tolerance. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it is usually planted in the garden rather than grown indoors.
Verbena lilacina, commonly known as Cedros Island verbena, is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family. It is native to Cedros Island and the adjacent Baja California coast. It is a perennial herb growing to 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide, with erect stems, narrow and elongate bipinnatifid leaves. The plant is available in multiple cultivars for gardens.
