This low maintenance wildflower naturalizes easily and is adaptable to garden conditions. Plant prefers rich moist acidic soils but will grow in average moist to wet soils in full sun. If a shorter plant is desired, prune it back in spring to about 2 feet. It is attractive if blooming occurs at different heights, so prune to different heights for this effect.
Wildlife value: Flowers are attractive to butterflies, bees and other pollinators. Songbirds eat the seeds. Members of the genus Vernonia support specialized bees. Host plant for American Lady (Vanessa virginiensis) butterfly larvae.
