Growing Tips for Vernonia ''Violet Night''

This sun-loving perennial thrives in moist, well-drained soil but adapts to average or slightly dry conditions once established. Water regularly when young; after that, it’s drought tolerant, low-maintenance, and stays upright without staking—no deadheading required.
