This neat native has a similar look to Amsonia hubrichtii. It has thin foliage, a vase-like habit, and an airy dome of small purple flowers. The flowers bloom in late summer extending their beauty. It sort of looks like a cross between Baby's Breath and a purple Aster; mixes well with grasses and other late summer bloomers. Bred from Vernonia lettermannii, native to the south-central U.S., and another unknown species, for those who like an element of mystery...
