A tale of two Ironweeds. First up is Wooly Ironweed, Vernonia lindheimeri. Two foot high grey wooly stems with slender needle like leaves and lovely purple fringy flowers in cluster on top. Native to the Edwards Plateau here in Central Texas. Next is . . . #gardening #plants #nativeplants #ironweed

The Western Ironweed, Vernonia baldwinii. This plant is 3 - 5 feet tall also with multiple stems & large lance like dark green leaves. It has 6 inch wide clusters of red-purple flowers & likes moist soil. This plant can be an aggressive colonizer so don't plant if it might escape. Mine is in a pot.
