Yellow Ironweed, Verbesina alternifolia

If you’re looking for a native wildflower that can thrive in your garden—even where deer are a problem—Yellow Ironweed (Verbesina alternifolia), is an excellent choice. It’s one of the few species that has steadily spread at the Prairie Garden Trust over time.

This tough, adaptable plant can tolerate partial shade and is blooming by the millions right now in our prairies.
