Sweet Almond verbena,(Aloysia virgata) isn't really verbena, but it is easy to start from cuttings. I have 4 rooted right now, to take to a plant swap early next month. Good luck.

The book How to Grow Native Plants of Texas and the Southwest describes propagation of the Aloysia species by cuttings on page 102. It should also apply to Sweet Almond Verbena (A. virgata).

I'm hoping to acquire an A. macrostachya plant in the future. These seem like underused shrubs to me.

thank you
I'm excited to try. I found this link. I thought I'd try in a plastic windowbox planter. It keeps moisture on the bottom. I'll get some rootin hormone too.

I was given mine by my brother in a small pot. It made it through the hard freeze and came back. It's in part sun and took until now to come into a full flower. It would droop in thos 100+ days but took it without a burnt leaf.

maybe some growers will catch on.

.....it's raining and I'm giddy

I see it offered in nurseries down here, quite often.

I started mine in a mix of sharp sand and peat. Dipped it in rooting hormone first. I use a storage container for a cutting box. Like was said it roots easy. Once rooted I put it into the flower bed in a lightly shaded area. It seemed to have rooted into the soil very fast getting established. During our extreme heat, wind, and drought it flourished and is already blooming at about a foot tall.

Ty, since you mentioned it I wanted to say I love the A. macrostachya. I got it at the San Antonio Botanical Garden sale several years back. They had it at the last sale I attended so I bought another one. I'm thinking they may have it at their plant sale today.

It's kind of a tall gangly bush so looks best planted at the back of a border, but it's been evergreen in my yard through the harshest winters and is always in bloom.

And of course I absolutely adore Sweet almond verbena. I have three plants. I've never tried to root it but glad to hear it roots easily. I'll try to root it and the Wooly bee bush, Aloysia macrostachya pictured above for the spring swap.

Roselee, I want a start of your wooly bugger plant. LOL!

Will do Kathy :-)

The person that recommended sweet almond verbena to me called it a bush. I thought a bush, well mine is as high as the gutters. It froze to the ground this past winter, but is, again, that high.
Don't plant it where you want a small "bush".
I should have researched it better.

my sweet almond verbena is at least 12 foot tall and at least 8 foot across
more like a small tree
