Joe-Pye Weed
Eupatorium dubium 'Baby Joe' PP020320
Dwarf, clumping plant with large lavender-rose flowers, a favorite of butterflies.
The perfect size for smaller gardens, this is a lovely midsized selection of Joe-Pye Weed. It forms a bushy upright mound of coarse dark-green leaves, bearing large umbrella-like heads of magenta-pink flowers in late summer. A magnet to butterflies, suitable for planting in moist to wet areas. The stature of this selection is ideal as a focal point in a large container or tub. Dried seedheads offer good winter interest, so consider leaving them until early spring. Flowers are terrific for cutting. Quite possibly hardy in Zone 3 or colder.
