Vernonia Cinerea Var. Lentii

Blueweed, scientifically known as Vernonia cinerea var. lentii, is a flowering plant native to the central and southern United States. It is characterized by its striking blue-gray foliage and clusters of small, daisy-like yellow flowers. This hardy perennial thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a popular choice for drought-tolerant gardens. Its unique appearance and ecological benefits make it a valuable addition to native plant landscapes. Despite its name, blueweed is not related to true weeds and is often mistaken for other members of the aster family.
