Vernonia Galpinii Indigenous Perennial - 10 Vernonia Seeds

Vernonia galpinii 

This charming low-growing, purple-flowered perennial makes a wonderful edging for indigenous borders.

This herbaceous perennial grows up to 60cm tall, with cushion-like clumps of leafy annual stems growing up from a perennial rootstock.  The small (up to 25mm across) purple inflorescences appear from August to February. White-flowered forms have occasionally been recorded. As is the case with all members of the daisy family, these 'flowers' are actually made up of many small florets. Unlike the classic daisy which has two different kinds of florets, the outer ray florets or 'petals', and the central disc florets, members of the genus Vernonia have only one type of floret.
