Description

Desert Sand Verbena has white to light purple flowers and gray leaves. It is a wonderful annual verbena from the clean sandy areas of the Mojave desert, southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, and on slopes above the desert/valley in the Pinyon Juniper Woodland/Juniper Woodland/Joshua Tree Woodland. In many areas Bromus (mostly foxtail chess, Bromus madritensis) has completely replaced mostly native annuals including this Desert Sand Verbena.
