Kitty, We have Ironweed growing wild on our property. I love it as it
competes well with the switch grass and big bluestem and is a welcome sight in 
mid summer. Ours is 4-5 ft tall. I've increased the numbers by simply
tossing the seeds around. Kathy

I picked up a couple of plants at a local nursery. Prairie Smoke, Geum
triflorum, I was vaguely familiar with because I remember Donna talking
about starting it in a greenhouse several years ago. Pretty thing. I
note
that it spreads by rhizomes - is it a fast spreader?

The other one was in a small pot and labeled Ironweed. Though I know that
it is a Vernonia, I don't know which species. Can anyone tell me which
species would MOST commonly use the name Ironweed? I'd like to get some
idea of ultimate size before planting it.
