Description
Later in the summer after the black eyed susan and blanket flowers are all gone blooms the lovely Tall Ironweed. This plant towers over the tall prairie grasses and puts on big fluffy purple flower heads that attract all kinds of pollenators from bees and butterflies to hummingbirds. This is the host plant to the lovely painted lady butterfly which is abundant in this area. When you see the Ironweed bloom in Oklahoma you know it won't be long before summer is over.
