Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Clusters of pure white flowers are held above the finely divided, low growing fern-like foliage throughout the year on this wonderful new selection of Sand Verbena that was introduced by Stephen F Austin University and was collected near Fort Polk, LA by Brad Waguespak. White Lightning was found growing in a parking lot and so it is certainly heat tolerant, durable, and reliable.
