Buy Prairie Princess Ironweed online. Unleash the robust beauty of Prairie Princess Ironweed in your garden, a perennial truly living up to its name with unparalleled toughness! As a proud native of North America and a close relative of the aster, this exceptional variety delivers a show-stopping fall display that will command attention. Starting in late summer, Prairie Princess Ironweed becomes adorned with abundant clusters of rosy purple flowers that completely blanket the upper half of the plant, creating a vibrant spectacle as other garden blooms begin to fade.

What sets Prairie Princess Ironweed apart from its wild counterparts is its superior garden performance. This cultivated variety boasts a more compact and fuller habit, ensuring it maintains a graceful form without sprawling. Its sturdy stems stand resilient, resisting collapse even under the heaviest rains or the full weight of its magnificent blooms. Unlike the native species, Prairie Princess Ironweed has been specifically selected for its ability to hold its dark olive-green foliage with a captivating silver cast throughout the entire season, even when faced with summer heat stress, adding continuous interest to your landscape.

Beyond its impressive structure and consistent beauty, Prairie Princess Ironweed offers enhanced durability for effortless gardening. Gardeners will particularly appreciate its improved mildew resistance, which helps keep the foliage clean and healthy right through the end of the growing season.
