Giant Ironweed (Vernonia gigantea)

Full sun to part shade.

Average water needs.

Size:     4-6 ft tall x 1 ft wide
​

Bloom Time: Summer and fall            

​Giant ironweed is a favorite at The Nectary. The bees, birds, and butterflies love it! It has beautiful purple blooms on its nearly 6-ft tall stems. If you let the seeds dry on the plants after blooming, they will scatter with the wind and you will have more plants to enjoy next year.
