Ironweed Live Plant Clump – Vernonia Pollinator Perennial

Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis / Vernonia fasciculata) is a tall ornamental perennial admired for its rich purple blooms and upright garden presence. This live plant clump produces decorative flowers that attract butterflies, pollinators, and beneficial insects, making it especially suitable for rain gardens, native plant landscapes, pollinator gardens, and back borders.

The plant features dark green lance-shaped foliage and grows approximately 4–6 feet tall with a mature spread of 24–36 inches under suitable growing conditions. Ironweed performs well in full sun to partial shade and is appreciated for its strong landscape presence, deer resistance, and rabbit resistance. Its tall flowering stems provide vibrant seasonal color and structure in naturalized gardens and perennial beds.
