Prairie Ironweed (Vernonia fasciculata)Â is a tall, upright perennial that grows naturally in low moist prairies and in swampy river bottom meadows. Densely clustered, fluffy purple disks bloom on its tall, leafy stems in late summer into the fall. Its narrow dark green leaves are lance-shaped and coarsely serrated. It works well in rain gardens and as a background plant for borders. Prairie Ironweed is highly attractive to native pollinators, especially butterflies, and is a larval host for the American painted lady.
