DescriptionMissouri Ironweed is a tall perennial featuring branched clusters of tiny, fluffy, vivid purple to magenta disks in mid-summer to early fall. Each flower head can consist of up to 30-60 disk florets. Native to the prairies of the midwest south to Texas and Georgia, this variety of ironweed is typically found in damp areas. With its tall, narrow features, this plant is well suited for tight spaces and grows well in native meadow gardens.
