Joe Pye Weed

Joe Pye Weed

Joe Pye Weed is a very tall plant, up to 6′ in the best sun/soil conditions, but strong stems support the flowering plant so it rarely needs to be staked (it can overgrow its neighbors though).  These attractive stems are almost all the same color as the dusty rose-colored flowers, which will bloom for many weeks in July and August, becoming absolute magnets for dozens of species of butterflies and bees
