Blue Vervain Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds offer a time-tested native wildflower valued for both its beauty and traditional herbal uses. This hardy perennial produces elegant, upright spikes of blue-violet flowers that can reach up to 6 feet tall, adding vertical interest and natural movement to the garden from mid-summer through early fall.
Long cherished in herbal traditions, Blue Vervain leaves have been used for generations in calming teas, making this plant a meaningful addition to medicinal herb gardens and natural wellness landscapes. Beyond its historical use, Blue Vervain is exceptionally well-suited to challenging growing conditions, thriving in wet or boggy soils where many plants struggle.
Native to North America and adapted to a wide range of climates, Blue Vervain grows reliably in zones 3–8 and performs well in full sun to partial shade. Its extended bloom period attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, while natural deer and rabbit resistance helps protect long-term plantings with minimal maintenance.
Elegant Blooms for Wet and Naturalized Gardens:
- Tall, graceful flower spikes reaching up to 6 feet
- Blue-violet blooms from mid-summer through early fall
- Ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, and low-lying areas
- Adds vertical structure to native and wildflower plantings
Why Customers Love Blue Vervain:
- Native perennial wildflower adapted to North American gardens

- Thrives in wet soils, clay, loam, or sandy conditions
- Deer and rabbit resistant once established
- Reliable, low-maintenance blooms year after year
How to Use / How to Grow:
Blue Vervain seeds benefit from cold stratification to improve germination. Sow seeds on the soil surface, as light aids germination, and keep soil consistently moist. This plant prefers moist to wet conditions but will adapt to average garden soils once established. Plant in full sun for best flowering, though partial shade is tolerated. Expect steady growth and long-lasting blooms in the second year, with perennial returns each season.

Native Perennials Are Worth The Wait!
Native perennials may not bloom in their first year. When planted from seeds, perennials put almost all of their energy into establishing strong, healthy root systems in the first year of growth. In the second year, you should see larger plants and some blooms. After the third year, you will be able to enjoy a bounty of beautiful blooms. Trust us! It will be worth the wait!
Cold Stratification Aids Germination
-
Step 1
Lightly moisten some clean sand. Make sure it is not too wet.
-
Step 2
Mix your seeds with the moist sand.
-
Step 3
Store your sand in an airtight container like a zip-top bag. Make sure to label and date your container.
-
Step 4
Refrigerate your sand and seeds for 2 to 4 weeks (or more, depending on the information on your seed packet)
Support Native Habitats
- Supports Local Ecosystems and Biodiversity: Native plants are uniquely adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, forming the foundation of healthy ecosystems. They provide essential food, shelter, and breeding grounds for a wide array of native wildlife, including pollinators like bees and butterflies, birds, and beneficial insects, which helps to maintain and enhance local biodiversity.
- Requires Less Maintenance and Resources: Once established, native plants typically require significantly less water, fertilizer, and pesticides compared to non-native ornamental plants. Their deep root systems improve soil health and water penetration, reducing runoff and erosion, and their natural resistance to local pests and diseases minimizes the need for chemical interventions, saving time, money, and environmental impact.
- Contributes to Climate Resiliency and Conservation: By supporting a healthy native plant community, you are helping to create more resilient landscapes that can better withstand the impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather events. Growing native plants also plays a crucial role in conserving local plant genetics, preserving the natural heritage of a region, and providing critical habitat corridors for wildlife facing habitat loss.
