Native to much of North America, fireweed thrives in sunny, well-drained soils and tolerates poor, recently disturbed sites. Chamerion angustifolium has tall, upright stems that have hot-pink to magenta blossoms attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Feathery seed plumes spread quickly to recolonize disturbed ground making it perfect for reclamation, meadow restoration, or a lively native border. Its foliage turns a dramatic coppery-red in fall. Low maintenance, prefers well-drained sites.
