Deep purple flower heads cover Vernonia Summers Swan Song from early September into mid-October, giving bees and butterflies a long late-season food source. Narrow olive-green leaves and reddish stems give the rounded clump a fine texture before bloom.
The mature plant stays compact at about 3 feet tall and a little over 3 feet wide. Interlocking flower branches help the upright stems resist lodging, making the plant a dependable fit for borders, mass plantings, pollinator gardens, and rain gardens.
Grow it in full sun and evenly moist, well-drained soil. Established plants tolerate dry periods, and routine care is limited to cutting the old stems back in late winter.
