Glandularia lilacina is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family known by the common name Cedros Island verbena. It is native to Cedros Island and the adjacent Baja California coast.[1] 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.[2][3]

Cultivation

Cedros Island verbena is hardy to zone 7 and requires low moisture. It does best in well-draining soil but can tolerate heavier soils.

'De La Mina' variety was selected by Carol Bornstein of the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.[4] It grows 2–3 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide, has dark purple blossoms with lavender streaks and a light scent.[5]

'Paseo Rancho' variety was introduced by the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. It grows 3–4 feet tall and 4–5 feet wide, with fragrant light pink flowers streaked with purple.[6]
