Giant Ironweed (Vernonia gigantea)
I love the sun and part shade.
Please plant me where I can get a regular watering. I don’t handle dry conditions very well.
Size: 4-6 ft tall x 1 ft wide
Bloom Time: Summer and Fall
I am a favorite at The Nectary. The bees, birds, and butterflies love me! I have beautiful purple blooms on my nearly 6-ft tall stems. If you let my seeds dry on the plants after blooming, they will scatter with the wind and you will have more plants to enjoy next year.
