This wildflower is Nature's perfect candelabra. Growing from moist earth, the sharply toothed leaves are crowned with vivid purple blossoms branching overhead. Sweet, small flowers waltz up the spires in rich color as they bloom from base to tip. The Blue Vervain is a lovely host for butterflies. Gather the blooms for cut flowers, but leave some to share with the wildlife that relish its seeds.
