(American Blue Vervain, Swamp Verbena) Upright yet creeping, self-seeding herbaceous perennial native to the Eastern US. Bright blue flowers on reddish-tinted plants, in multiple, long-lasting, handsome spikes 3 to 5 feet tall.. Fresh or dried leaf is the part used. Traditional usage: indigestion, colds, and fevers. A good ingredient for home brew, it is also a traditional offering plant to honor the garden spirits. Plants prefer full sun to part shade and moist garden soils. Good drainage is not a necessary prerequisite. If there is a concern that the plant will spread, then keep it in a pot, or provide other suitable barriers, and cut back the flowers after peak display. Space plants 6 inches to a foot apart.

I have fond memories of the Verveine tea served in Europe. I wonder if it is the same as the ‘ Blue Vervain’ or the ‘European Vervain’?
Thank you

One more question: the fresh leaves of the Vervain officialis has a bitter taste, and very calming, but the Verveine tea bags are not bitter at all. Just curious.. Thanks again
