Eupatoriadelphus maculatum "Joe Pye Weed"
A favorite of butterflies and gardeners alike, Joe Pye Weed is a must-have for native plant geeks. Reaching heights of 4-6’ tall, this unbranched native perennial flowering plant can appear almost shrub-like in a meadowscape, and offers a beautiful focal point to any wet meadow or rain garden. Massive lavender-pink flowers appear in August - September and the butterflies won’t miss them. Additionally, several species of Lepidoptera use Joe Pye Weed as a host plant.
