Vernonia fasciculata, Prairie Ironweed

Pictures to Come!

There are only a few Minnesota native plants with a purple color like Ironweed purple, and none of them grow this tall! You can feel confident planting this along the sunny edge of a wetland, in the center depths of a rain garden swale, or even a deep roadside ditch -it will do well there and it will be seen.

Blooms: red-purple, July into September
