I got two Ironweed plants from HCG this Spring, called 'Iron Butterfly' a
narrow leaf variety.  This one says it gets 24-30 high & 18-24 wide.
They're just getting started now, so haven't seen them do too much yet.  I
put one in a pot & one in the ground to see how they do.
What do the leaves look like on the one you have?
