Narrowleaf ironweed is a lovely lavender blooming wildflower for your garden or meadow. The butterflies, bees, and other pollinators adore it. After blooming, it dies back, but will reemerge the following spring. If you are able to let it self-seed, it will reward you the following year with more plants. It would look great in the middle portion of your garden. It works well alongside coreopsis, salvia, and skullcap.
