Glandularia maritima
Beach Verbena is an endangered, prostrate perennial native to Florida's coastal dunes that forms dense, evergreen ground cover mats. This spreading species produces deep pink to lavender flowers in flat-topped clusters that bloom year-round with peaks in spring and summer. Extremely salt-tolerant and adapted to sandy soils and full sun, it thrives in harsh coastal environments but can also adapt to less challenging landscape settings. Due to its low-growing, spreading habit and continuous flowering, it serves as an excellent groundcover for sunny, well-drained areas.
