Verbena peruviana, also called Peruvian mock vervain (now often listed as Glandularia peruviana), is a low, spreading ground cover with bright flowers. It grows best in full sun with well-drained soil and moderate watering.
Verbena peruviana (syn. Glandularia peruviana), the Peruvian mock vervain, is a species of flowering plant in the family Verbenaceae. It is native to Bolivia, southern Brazil, northern Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, but not Peru, and has been introduced to scattered locations elsewhere, including the former Czechoslovakia, the US state of Illinois, and the Leeward Islands. Under the synonym Glandularia peruviana, its cultivar 'Balendpibi' (trade name Endurascape Pink Bicolor) has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
