| I "rescued" this from an area that used to have a lot of wildflowers and now has a lot of new construction.
Are gladularia and verbena synonyms? It reminds me a lot of my verbena Homestead Purple, although not the same color. It's lighter.

| Verbena |

| That's what I thought until I looked up Glandularia, at which point I realised I was way out of my depth. These two seem very complicated. |
|
| In Weakley's key, he separates the two this way: Styles > 6 mm long; calyx 8-10 mm long, longer than the fruit; corolla salverform - Glandularia 4 Styles < 3 mm long; calyx 2-4 mm long, often shorter than the fruit; corolla funnelform - Verbena |

| Sorry, I submitted before I meant to. That looks like Glandularia canadensis (Rose Vervain) to me. That is the only Glandularia species that's common in Missouri, accoring to BONAP. |

| Thank you! Then verbena and glandularia really are two different things but in the same family, correct? I'm hoping it will be self-fertile because I only have one plant. I looked for seeds and found a couple but they're pretty skinny so I'm afraid they may be infertile. |

| You might try cuttings. It is closely related and I think it would work. |

| The Glandularia votes are from more knowledgeable folks, I'll go with that and rescind my earlier input and now think some of my Verbenas have been Glandularias. |

| Just so it's not a Glandularia disorder. |
