Vernonia lettermannii is native to Oklahoma and Arkansas where it is found in areas that may be periodically very wet or dry, like gravelly riverbanks. 'Iron Butterfly' is a selection from the University of Georgia that is compact, well-branched, and very vigorous with open heads of deep violet, late summer and fall flowers. Its long, needle-like foliage resembles another Arkansas native, Amsonia hubrictii or Threadleaf Blue Star.;Use this neat ironweed for its fine foliage effect in full sun and dry to moist soils.

For a tall perennial with rich reddish-purple flowers, Ironweed cannot be beat. Ironweed is a common wildflower of moist fields and roadsides and its beauty may therefore be taken for granted. Flower clusters from July to frost attain spreads of over 12 inches. Maturing from the inside out, flowers start out deep, dark, reddish-purple and become light purple with contrasting white anthers looking like bits of snow on the flowers. Its flowers are excellent as fresh cut flowers. Because of its height (4 to 7 feet), it would be best at the rear of the garden or in natural areas. Ironweed is very attractive growing with Goldenrod, Joe Pye Weed, Wild Ageratum, Seashore Mallow, and Sunflowers. It needs full sun or partial shade and moisture. Cat# 1226
