Verbena lilacina, commonly known as Cedros Island verbena, is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family.[2] It is native to Cedros Island and the adjacent Baja California coast.[1] It is a perennial herb growing to 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide, with erect stems, narrow and elongate bipinnatifid leaves. The plant is available in multiple cultivars for gardens.[3][4]

Cedros Island verbena is hardy to zone 7 and requires low moisture. It does best in well-draining soil but can tolerate heavier soils.
