Sweet Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium purpureum) is a tall, shade-tolerant native perennial that brings height, fragrance, and pollinator power to woodland gardens and moist, partly shaded landscapes. This 32-plant pack is perfect for filling vertical space while supporting butterflies and other beneficial insects.
Reaching up to 7 feet tall, Sweet Joe Pye Weed produces large, vanilla-scented clusters of fuzzy pink flowers in late summer, just when many pollinators are most active. Butterflies flock to the blooms, making this plant a late-season nectar magnet. Despite its stature, it typically stays upright when supported by neighboring tall plants. If you'd like a more compact form, simply cut back by half in early summer—a great way to manage height without sacrificing blooms.
This long-lived perennial will slowly expand to form a robust clump and can be divided every few years to control its spread or share with friends.
