Eutrochium purpureum / Sweet (purple) Joe-Pye Weed

Once you notice Joe-Pye Weed in the landscape, you’ve got a friend for life. An impressive plant, Eupatorium purpureum grows 5 to 8 feet tall with a 4 to 5 foot spread. Large pink flower clusters bloom atop purple stems and remain beautiful as they dry out heading into winter. You will be amazed at the pollinator feeding-frenzy that Joe-Pye instigates. This species of Joe-Pye weed is best for shade or part shade conditions. For sunny conditions, try Spotted Joe-Pye Weed or Hollow Joe-Pye Weed.
