Verbena identification
 

I bought, at a Yellow Book garden, a small plant labelled Verbena
Bonariensis. I bought it out of curiosity because it did not look
like the bonariensis seedlings I have grown. Indeed, it is not, but
can anyone tell me what it is please?
Hopefully photos are here...

Apoligies if the quality is not perfect and for leaving two on their
sides.
The first was taken about 2 weeks ago, the other 3 this morning.
Please satisfy my curiosity.

My guess is Veronicastrum virginicum - a favourite of mine. And my other
guess is that whoever grew it put a label in the pot saying 'Ver' and forgot
the rest. ;-)

I think it's Verbena hastata. See below.

Sacha and Charlie, I've looked at pictures of both your suggestions
but both seem to have more florets up the stem than mine has.
BTW it is just about 3 feet tall.

I'm still fairly certain it's Verbena hastata. I remember it from one
of the show gardens at Hampton Court.
