Missouri Ironweed is an upright perennial that typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall on stiff, leafy stems that branch near the top. It produces composite, magenta disk flowers from late summer to fall, followed by rusty seed clusters. This plant grows best in full sun and wet soils, tolerating occasional flooding.
