I noticed on our list you are offering Giant Ironweed because it is too tall for your space. If you want an Ironweed, I am offering an unknown species. It might be Missouri since this is what I planted in that patch, but I also have Western and Common Ironweeds in the yard, so it could be a hybrid of those. The plants out back ranged in height from about two feet up to five feet, if you want to give the seed a try.

I'd be willing to try something shorter. As I said in an earlier post, I've planted my parking strip between the sidewalk and street. Also put in a triangle bed at the corner in my yard. Am skirting a fine line as some of my plants far exceeded their expected height. For instance, dwarf cherry Barbados is not dwarf. I'm having to trim things down to 4' and hoping no one complains about the visibility at the intersection. When the package said 4-6' I just feel I'm pushing my luck. Id love to try something shorter if it can handle our summer heat. Thx.
