Giant Ironweed
Vernonia gigantea
Giant Ironweed is a perennial, reseeding, native wildflower that prefers sun to light shade and average to moist (well-drained) soils in the garden. The rich purple flowers add bright pops of color to the garden summer through fall. Giant Ironweed brings height and unique color to a butterfly garden and attracts many other pollinators, too.
