Western Ironweed, Venonia baldwinii is a lovely perennial native Texas plant.
It starts to bloom in June and the flowers last for about a month.
The plants can be cut back halfway after blooming and they usually rebloom again.
It is very hardy and care free, and the butterflies love it, also the bright purple color is very pretty.
