plant sale text: Georgia ironweed is thought to be a naturally occurring hybrid between Vernonia angustifolia and Vernonia acaulis. It grows well in dry and sandy soils, and occurs naturally in the sandhills. Like other Vernonias, Georgia ironweed produces vivid purple flowers borne in loosely branched corymbs. These flowers are long lasting and attract many late-summer butterflies.
