I recently bought a plant at a plant sale. It has a handwritten label saying it is "verbena bowdriensco". I can't find any reference to this plant. Can you help?
Thank you

I bet that's a poorly written 'bonariensis'. Small purple flowers in neat clusters atop tall rough stems which are square in cross section?

Thanks. It certainly looks like a bonariensis, with the same square section stem. The leaves are larger and broader than my other bonariensises (??) and it seems generally to be a bit "chunkier". It's not in flower yet so I will have to wait and see.

I've got the plants from 3 different suppliers, and all three are different, plant size, health(!), flower colour and size, and leaf shape, believe it or not. So much for quality and consistency on the market
