Looks like flea beetle damage. You could try a neem oil spray or (slightly less organic) pyrethrum-based spray which is made from a natural insecticide extracted from chrysanthemums.
david: I've had awful problems with all my verbena this year. Swarms of thrips devastating all of them and I'm having to get rid of them. Never had this before as they've always been one of my favourites.
