| Ironweed is a native wildflower throughout eastern North America, growing in moist, sunny meadows. This variety has been selected for its outstanding large clusters of rich purple flowers, appearing in late summer and fall. Plants form a bushy, upright clump for the back of the border. Happiest when growing in a rich, moist site with lots of sun. Excellent for cutting. Flowers are attractive to butterflies.
