Why Plant Veroninia?
Vernonia (Ironweed) is a resilient perennial and a favorite of many Western gardeners. Ironweed is distinctive, and it stands out in the garden with a tall, upright habit. Fine foliage and clusters of vivid magenta flowers in mid-to-late summer or fall. Its blooms add a burst of late season color to the landscape, and provide a essential late season food source for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Thanks to its adaptability, Vernonia has a wide native range across the meadows and prairies of the United States and North America. Vernonia is a drought tolerant, low maintenance native perennial, and a must-have for any waterwise pollinator or habitat garden.
