Vernonia lettermanii - narrow-leaf ironweed - Juniper Level Botanic Garden
I do love the foliage of the American native, narrow-leaf ironweed, Vernonia lettermanii...even before it’s topped with the purple flowers. It’s just so hard to find great textural plants like this. Average to dry soil moisture and a sunny site are the key to success with this one.
