Narrowleaf Ironweed (Vernonia angustifolia) is a vibrant perennial that stands 2-4 feet tall, making a striking addition to any landscape. With its preference for full sun to partial shade and its ability to thrive in dry, sandy soil, this hardy plant is ideal for low-maintenance gardens in challenging conditions.
Its small, bright fuchsia flowers, reminiscent of delicate paper snowflakes, bloom prolifically, with a single plant capable of producing hundreds of blossoms and thousands of seeds. This abundance of flowers not only adds a vivid pop of color to your garden but also makes Narrowleaf Ironweed a magnet for butterflies, providing essential nectar for pollinators.
Perfect for naturalized areas, wildflower meadows, or any birder’s garden, Narrowleaf Ironweed attracts wildlife while adding beauty and ecological value. Its resilience and unique charm make it a must-have for those looking to create a dynamic and pollinator-friendly outdoor space.
