Vernonia fasciculata, the smooth ironweed or common ironweed, or prairie ironweed is a perennial that is native to Manitoba in Canada and the north-central U.S.A.
Vernonia fasciculata inhabits areas with moist soils and prairies. It flowers in July to September. It grows 2-4 ft (0.61-1.22 m) tall with magenta flowers.
V. fasciculata is winter hardy in USDA zones 4-9, it is planted in full sun and used in rain gardens and as a naturalized plant because of its showy flower display, it is deer tolerant and adaptable to wet soils.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Location: Full sun
Height: 40", 100cm
Seeds per packet: 20
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 90 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification they are then brought back to room temperature 20-22°C (68-72°F) for them to germinate. Germination is irregular over a long period of time, generally 60-90 days, but some can take longer. Do not discard the planting tray, as patience is needed, and they are well worth the wait.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
