Etymology

The word 'verbena' comes from the Latin term 'verbenฤ', which referred to a plant that was used medicinally in ancient times. The Romans held verbena in high esteem, often using it in ceremonial practices and as an ingredient in offerings to the gods. As the term evolved, it became associated more specifically with the genus that includes various herbs and flowering plants. Over the years, verbena has been cultivated for ornamental purposes and as a fragrant addition to gardens. Its popularity spread throughout Europe and eventually to other parts of the world, where it is now commonly found in gardens and landscapes, valued for its beauty and resilience.
