Description
This specimen of Hill Fireweed, a herbaceous perennial, exhibits a naturally upright growth habit with a single main stem. Its bright green, deeply serrated leaves are arranged alternately along the stem, presenting a vigorous, naturalistic appearance. While not a traditional bonsai subject, its vertical form could inspire a unique informal-upright style.
