Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' is a tall, slender-stemmed 

 in the Verbenaceae that bears tight clusters of lavender to rose-purple flowers. It is cultivated either as a flowering 

 or as an herbaceous perennial. Flowering runs from June to October. The habit produces long, terminal stems that give height and a light silhouette in planting schemes.

Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop' belongs to the genus Verbena within the Verbenaceae and has its roots in South American flora where similar forms occur across warm regions. In cultivation it is raised both as an annual and as a herbaceous perennial, depending on site and winter conditions. Plants characteristically carry terminal clusters of lavender to rose‑purple blooms that appear on long, slender stems. For successful display place the stems where their height will be supported by neighbouring planting or simple staking; the tall, open stems sit well at the rear of a mixed border or within a meadow-style scheme. Deadhead or lift stems as required to manage self-seeding where that is not wanted. In milder locations it can be left in the border as a perennial form, while elsewhere it is often treated as an annual. Allow space for the upright stems to rise above lower plants so the flower clusters are visible from a distance. The flowering period runs from June to October, so planning for lower and mid-height companions will make the most of its season of bloom.

Purpletop Vervain (Verbena bonariensis 'Lollipop') bears lavender to rose-purple clusters from June to October and suits the rear of mixed borders.
