Description
A distinctive Vernonia lettermannii will ensure you have a summer ball with a flight of butterflies. A flutter of butterflies and a rabble of bees will dance on the dense fluffy clusters of small, royal-purple nectar-rich blooms. Held on strong, red-tinted stems which are heavily clothed in narrow, willow-like foliage, creating a neat mound. Certain to introduce fine texture and movement to your garden and not bothered by either deer or rabbits. A member of the Aster family, the flowering stems are magnificent when cut for long-lasting arrangements. Known commonly as Butterfly Ironweed, it is said to be a favourite of Piet Oudolf, the famous garden designer who uses it extensively in his public garden designs. Vernonia lettermannii prefers to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in sun and copes with part shade. Reaching a height of 1.2m and spreading to 40cm, she is a hardy perennial
