SAND VERBENA
Abronia fragrans

Hearts-delight or sand verbena can be an upright or widely sprawling perennial, ranging in height or width from 8-40 in. Its long, funnel-shaped flowers are usually white, but are sometimes tinged with green, lavender, or pink. Numerous blossoms are held in ball-shaped clusters at the ends of the sticky-hairy, branched stems. The flowers open in late afternoon and close in the morning. Sand Verbena's large spray of visually attractive flowers are made even more attractive because of their fabulously sweet smell.
