Ironweed Vernonia - Easy to grow flowering perennial for wet soggy locations - Pollinator friendly
Ironweed is an herbaceous native perennial wildflower in the Aster family. It grows 5 to 8 feet tall with deep purple flowers that appear in clusters from mid-summer to mid-fall on strong stems. This low-maintenance, easy-to-grow wildflower naturalizes readily and is adaptable to home garden conditions.
Ironweed prefers rich moist acidic soils, but will grow in average moist to wet soils in full sun. Use in a rain garden, cottage garden, meadow, along streams or ponds or the back of the border. If a more compact plant is desired, prune it back in spring to about 2 feet. Shorter varieties have also been created and are available for the home garden.
If you are looking for an easy-to-grow flowering perennial for your garden that can tolerate soggy growing conditions, the sun-loving, pollinator-friendly Ironweed plant is a great choice.

    Look for its fruit. It looks like a small black pineapple. Only pull it off if it comes off easily otherwise you’ll waste it and kill the seeds. This occurs in September usually or late autumn. Once you have obtained a skunk cabbages fruit open it and clean off the seeds. The seeds must be kept in a plastic bag of water in the refrigerator all winter. Come spring they will germinate. You need a wet area or a pot or mud buried in the ground to grow them.

    Trumpet vine is easy to control: just cut it back, often. Pull the new plants out of the ground when it shows up in the garden. A lawn mower cuts the vines along with unwanted oak or pecan trees. Definitely pull the seedlings out at the base of bushes, shrubs and trees. Oak trees can support its weight. It does well on chain link fences.

    I’m in Zone 7a and a relative gave me a cutting. His tree is about 13 years old growing along a fence and into a neighbour’s backyard, it’s gorgeous, about 7 to 8 feet high and covered in flowers. The trunk is about 4 to 5 “ across and he seems to keep it under control. I planted it 2 years ago against a fence and the first year I saw hardly any leafs but this year it’s starting to grow up the fence . The leafs are still small but getting bigger and pushing through the wood fence into my neighbour’s backyard and is welcomed there. My question is when will the first flowers come out? Thanks !

    I noticed you were holding different parts of the trumpet vine without gloves on, and I’m just curious which parts were toxic because I’ve read that these plants, including the leaves, are toxic to the touch. I did grab onto one in my backyard without gloves on before doing proper research and now I am worried that I might develop a rash. I did scrub it with some technu immediately, so just asking if you’ve ever gotten a rash from your handling of the plants? It was just the vine portion (no flowers) and it was fairly young as there was only a couple feet of growth. Thank you!

    • @Gardenclips

      Not sure what is causing your branch die-back if it is excessive, but they are relatively short lived trees - about 40 years on average. Also the wood of Laburnum is naturally dark so that may not be related.

It is self-supporting and is about 5 ft tall and around. Blooms every year and seems well-behaved. I know of another that is on a trellis in a commercial garden and it too seems easy to manage. It’s a testament that a tropical plant has managed to adapt to our brutal winters and survive, but the cold does seem to keep it in check.
