Vernonia hybrid ‘Prairie Princess’ is a compact ironweed that delivers bold late-season colour without the towering size of traditional varieties. Clusters of vivid purple flowers are held atop strong, upright stems from late summer into fall, creating a striking display when many other perennials are beginning to fade. The nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Its tidy, well-branched habit makes it an excellent choice for mixed borders, prairie gardens, and naturalistic plantings. Hardy and easy to grow, ‘Prairie Princess’ brings rich colour, vertical texture, and valuable pollinator support to the late-season landscape.
