The flowers of Ironweed are like crimson torches in the late summer landscape. An excellent addition to the pollinator garden, the brilliant purple-crimson bloom color is very attractive to butterflies. Ironweed is a host plant for the American Painted Lady butterfly, as well.

Named for its tough stem, Ironweed has excellent posture and never slouches in the garden! The dark rigid stems topped with contrasting fluffy seed heads, offer excellent late season color and texture.
