Vernonia 'Summer's Swan Song' - a new hybrid introduction from Chicagoland Grows. Shorter than other ironweeds on the market, what really differentiates 'Summer's Swan Song' from the pack is the way the branches interlock, preventing the plant from splaying or losing its form. It's reliable habit and late-season color make this a perennial to watch! We will be offering Vernonia 'Summer's Swan Song' in 2020 - be on the lookout! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #vernonia #ironweed #chicagobotanic #newplant #perennial #perennials #newintroduction #purpleflowers #newplants #horticulture #horticultura #wholesaleplants #nativegarden #growers #gardencenter #gardendesign #gardencentre #plantnursery #growmore #grower #nursery #greenhouse #plantshop #gardennursery #fallflowers #perennialgarden #plantnursery #plantflowers #newintro #chicagobotanicgarden time 3 weeks ago 8 comments 131 like
