Sizes available: 2 quart, coming soon

Basics: zones 4-9,  24-36" x 18-24", full sun to light shade, medium to dark purple blooms over finely-textured foliage from late summer into early fall. Quite adaptable to both brief inundation and periods of drought and prefers a lean, well-drained soil.

Common names: Threadleaf Ironweed, Letterman's Ironweed

Family: Asteraceae

Origin/Distribution: This is a cultivar of the species that was developed by Allan Armitage in his plant trials at the University of Georgia. The species has a very small range and is found in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Habitat: Occurs in floodplain and riparian habitats as well as rocky, well-drained places

More: Some may say this is the most "garden-worthy" Ironweed and maybe for a classic, ornamental garden this is true. It really just depends. But either way, it is a beautiful, multi-stemmed, bushy presence and because of its refined foliage texture, looks good both in and out of flower which is beneficial, since it does not bloom until late in the season. This is the most drought tolerant Ironweed and will want good drainage in order to cope with winter wet. It is more compact and floriferous than the straight species and may seed around a bit. However, the seeds may not come true to the cultivar. Attractive to pollinators. Good on a sunny slope. I wonder if it will last long in the vase. Stay tuned.

So cute!
Good size toy, but my 1yr old Jack Russell is NB match for it. It’s good quality and I’m sure it would last longer with a less aggressive chewer.

Dog loves it! Squeaky on both ends!
Bungee rope is not as resistant as I wished, but its fun nonetheless! Squeaks in head and tail. Misssteped the tail and broke one squeaker, still fun though! Toy can handle a beating. Really happy with it!

My dogs loves this toy
I got a few different toys for them today. I need to go through their toybox and get rid of some of the older ones. I can tell the youngster loves the toys. He has taken them into one of the crates and sat with them. Then he brought them back out. He fell asleep with his head against one of them. He has been playing tug of war with this one. And the older one has been running around with it too. Pup already pulled one eye off of this one. But the toy is intact.

SPOT Bungee Raccoon
Purchased 5/20. Decent dog toy. I have a Chiyorkie and he chews on his toys constantly. The squeakers went after a couple of days and then he pulled them out. I put them in the trash. After about two months he had chewed off the head and pulled the bungee out. The bungee went in the trash. I let him play with head and tail pieces for a while but the head had gotten into bad shape so in the trash it went. That left about a twelve inch piece left. He has been playing with that now about a month. He loved tearing the toy up and I do not really blame the toy. He rips up anything that is made of cloth. The only real issue I have with the toy is the two squeakers. IMO they could cause a choking or bowel blocking hazard. I just happened to catch him chewing on them after he had gotten them back. An old knotted on each end knee sock works just about as well but from then on don't leave your socks laying around. They will be fair game for you pet. lol

Fun but.... doesnt stand up to hard play
A very fun toy. My dog loved it - short term. The bungee broke on Day 1 from pulling. (It is designed to be a tug toy, so I assume it should have lasted longer). After a couple weeks, my dog had pulled it apart. Super fun toy, but not for hard play.
