Wild herb found around Virginia (6)
I believe the answer is:
savage
'wild' is the definition.
(I know that wild can be written as savage)
'herb found around virginia' is the wordplay.
'herb' becomes 'sage' (sage is a kind of herb).
'found around' is an insertion indicator.
'virginia' becomes 'va' (US state abbreviation).
'sage' enclosing 'va' is 'SAVAGE'.
(Other definitions for savage that I've seen before include "Barbarian" , "Untamed or undomesticated" , "Menacing, uncivilised" , "Wild and menacing" , "Uncivilised and fierce" .)
