Also known as Willow Herb or simply as Fireweed, this showy, perennial wildflower has willow-like leaves and red stems like other plants in its genus, but its magenta blossoms make it unique. Its seeds are spread by rhizomes, and its flowers bloom from June to September, attracting hummingbirds as well as bees and moths. This plant grows in full sun to partial shade, and tolerates shallow, rocky soil.
