NY Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracenis)
New York Ironweed: A Bold Choice for Native Gardens
New York Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis) is a must-have for anyone restoring habitat and adding stunning beauty to their landscape. This tall, sturdy plant can reach up to 7 feet. Its vivid purple blooms create a bold pop of color in late summer when other flowers have faded.
The Delight of Pollinators.
Certainly, Ironweed is a favorite among pollinators, especially butterflies and bees. It offers nectar when many other plants have finished blooming. Additionally, its deep root system helps prevent soil erosion, making it ideal for stream banks and erosion-prone areas.
Right at home in most any site conditions.
This tough, low-maintenance plant thrives in moist soils, but it can tolerate different conditions. Its resilience makes it perfect for eco-landscaping projects focused on supporting wildlife without much upkeep. By planting New York Ironweed, you’ll support biodiversity and enjoy a dramatic visual impact.

Thank you for your interest in habitat restoration + our wildflower seed mix collection. Most “wildflower seed” mixes available on the market today utilize a blend of annuals + introduced plants, sometimes including a tiny smidge of the most common indigenous perennial species. In contrast, our small batch, locally grown seed vault is composed of 100% native species perennials, 100% of the time. This means that securing wildflower seed from Jessecology for your habitat restoration project will actually do the ecosystem regeneration you’re looking for. All of our wildflower seeds are hand collected on privately owned land that our company manages organically.
