Description:
Vernonia Summers Swan Song
A bold yet gardenfriendly ironweed, Vernonia 'Summer's Swan Song' brings a spectacular burst of deeppurple, nectarrich flowers in late summer and early fall perfect when many other plants are winding down. This cultivar forms a tidy, moundshaped clump of fine, olivegreen foliage rising to about 7590cm tall, with stems that take on a rich red hue in full sun for added seasonal interest. Its airy, fluffy flower clusters are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for pollinator or native gardens. Thanks to its compact, wellbehaved habit and good disease resistance, its a great option for borders, naturalistic plantings, or even modest-size garden spaces.
