Eutrochium purpureum
Sweet Joe Pye Weed is stunning in the shade garden!  Standing at 6’ tall, this plant works well in the back of the border or as a focal point.  Sweet Joe Pye Weed has pink flowers July-August, and it tolerates moist to dry soil.  And, it’s used by many different kinds of butterflies and bumblebees, including the endangered Rusty Patched Bumble Bee!
