This native plant's common name of "ironweed" refers to its resilient growth, as well as the rusty color that it sometimes develops late in the season. The genus name "Vernonia" honors British botanist William Vernon, who became known for his research of North American plants in the late 17th century. The species name "fasciculata" means "in bundles," referring to the tightly clustered flowers. Direct sow in late fall, pressing the seed into the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 2-3 weeks. These seeds are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and are also free from all Neonicotinoids. They are packaged in our superb Gold Mylar Mylar Zip Packaging, which gives the seeds the best storage possible, and allows you to reseal the bag for later use.
