Vernonia noveboracensis (New York Ironweed) [25 Seeds]
$4.25
Germination Information: I recommend these seeds only for gardeners who have experience with seeds that require a chilling period. The easiest approach is to surface-sow the seeds in a pot in fall to early winter, setting them outdoors in a spot protected from mice so they can get a natural chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring.
If you sow much after December, give the pot an artificial chilling period of about 2 months.
It is possible that these seeds could germinate if you sow them in warm, moist, bright conditions. But if you try that and no seedlings appear within 2 weeks or so, then proceed with the artificial chilling period.
Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Description
New York ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis) bears showy clusters of bright purple flowers at the tips of 4- to 5-foot-tall stems in late summer to early fall. It looks right at home in meadow gardens or naturalistic borders, particularly when paired with warm-season grasses, such as switch grasses (Panicum) and Indian grass (Sorghastrum nutans), and other late-blooming perennials, such as pink Joe-Pye weed (Eutrochium maculatum) and bright yellow golden lace (Patrinia scabiosifolia). And, butterflies love it! US native; these seeds are from plants growing wild in my meadow in Bucks County, PA. Full sun. Perennial; Zones 4 to 9.
Collected starting in late September 2022. At least 25 seeds. PA ecotype.
