Joe Pye Weed
Height: 5-8ft
Spread: 3-4ft
Bloom Color: Pink
Zone: 4-8
Size: 1 gal
Native
Trumpetweed is a robust, upright perennial with hollow purple stems accented by huge, rounded, tight clusters of pink or purplish-mauve flowers. It is an important pollen and nectar plant and attracts butterflies (particularly the swallowtail butterfly) and other pollinaters by the dozens. Its height makes it an excellent backround plant in border perennial beds, but is also majestic standing alone. Flower color is darker in cooler weather.
Moist or wet soil is preferred, although Joe Pye Weed is known to grow just about anywhere. Spreads by underground rhizomes. Eupatorium ssp. in general benefit from fertilization throughout the growing season. Staking is also helpful for support.
