Description
If supporting pollinators is on your list, native Common Ironweed is a top pick. Clusters of magenta-purple flowers top the branches from mid-summer to fall and it is a pollinator magnet. In fact, the Xerces Society identified it as a special value plant for native bees. It is also the host plant for the American Painted Lady Butterfly. A resilient plant, it’s a good choice for rain gardens, too. Deadhead flowers to reduce self-seeding and to encourage more flowers. In fall, fluffy brown seeds follow spent flowers. Easy to grow, this low-care native species requires only a mostly sunny spot, average soil, and moderate moisture. Cut back by half in spring if a shorter height is desired.
Planting & Care

As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.
