Description

The listing, Butterfly plant IRONWEED has ended.

On a bright late summer day, the purple flowers of ironweed glow. Ironweeds can take their place in sunny moist beds and borders, rain gardens, and beside ponds and streams. In limited space, cut the stems by half in early summer to control height. They are magnets for butterflies.

For me it gets about 15 feet tall every summer. It has not been invasive and the flowers are a beautiful deep purple.
