Abstract
A new cultivar of Vernonia plant, ‘Summer's Swan Song’, that is characterized by its compact, bushy habit with stems that do not lodge, its inflorescence branches that are longer than other Vernonia varieties forming an interlocking network of branches that add to the overall plant sturdiness and resistance to stem lodging, its foliage and stems that are tinted red and purple in color, its high resistance to rust and powdery mildew, in being reliably hardy in U.S.D.A. Zones 4 to 9 and in being very drought tolerant.
