OTHER: This Ironweed is native to The US & Canada. These are a wonderful flower for attracting all kinds of flying beauties! It is a favorite of bees including bumble bees, & butterflies including The Monarch, Painted Lady, & Swallowtail. I can see why! The large clusters of blooms are a lovely magenta color, & Ironweed has a long bloom period. Each flower measures 1/2 - 3/4" wide, with between 30 to 60 flowers to a cluster! They will reseed, but are not at all invasive. The plants are able to tolerate some drought or extra moisture including occasional flooding. They are not picky about soil either, & can grow in clay or gravel. Ironweed is both deer & rabbit resistant.

We also have Purple Ironweed (Vernonia fasciculata) seeds!
