Fireweed receives its name from the fact that it is among the first plants to recolonize areas burned by forest fires or other disturbed areas in low to subalpine areas. The fruits are simple stalks, which split open after drying and release wind-borne seeds. The showy flowers produce large amounts of nectar, and are visited by bumblebees and honey bees.
