Vervain is a perennial herb known for its slender stems and small, delicate flowers. It typically grows in temperate regions and can reach heights of up to three feet. The plant belongs to the Verbenaceae family and is often found in meadows, roadsides, and other open areas. Vervain's flowers are usually purple or blue, although they can occasionally be white or pink. The herb has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its purported healing properties, including its ability to relieve stress, treat respiratory conditions, and support digestive health. In addition to its medicinal uses, vervain is also valued for its ornamental appeal and is sometimes grown in gardens for its attractive appearance and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
