Vernonia noveboracensis

Commonly called ironweed or New York ironweed, this hardy perennial is known for it's "iron-like" plant qualities. Many tiny, fluffy, deep purple flowers bloom atop sturdy stems. Expect blooms from late summer to fall (August - September). Flowers fade to a rusty color and offer rusty colored seeds for great fall interest. 

A low maintenance plant, ironweed works well at the back of borders, in cottage or wildflower gardens and in meadows or naturalized areas. Native to the eastern and southeastern United States.
