Vernonia angustifolia 'Plum Peachy' (Narrowleaf Ironweed)

Vernonia angustifolia ‘Plum Peachy’ – Narrowleaf Ironweed

Late-season drama for pollinators and the garden alike. ‘Plum Peachy’ boasts large clusters of rich purple flowers perched on strong stems, providing a nectar feast for bees and butterflies when many other blooms have faded. Its bright green, Amsonia-like foliage turns a subtle purple in fall, adding seasonal interest beyond the flowers. Native, deer-resistant, and adaptable, it thrives in full sun with consistently moist soil but tolerates drought once established, making it a reliable and striking perennial.
