New York ironweed  is a towering perennial reaching 5 to 8 feet tall. A specialist of floodplains, wet meadows, and streambanks, it thrives in full sun and prefers moist to wet soils, though is proven adaptable. In bloom it is a late summer nectar source; its vivid blooms are a magnet for butterflies and bees, while the plant serves as a host for the parthenice tiger moth.
