Eutrochium maculatum / Joe Pye Weed / Eupatoire maculée

My underrated favorite. Pour a drink and watch the bees roll around, intoxicating themselves with these messy, puffy fingered pale pink flowers.

Native to Québec and most of North America, I find them easy and unfussy to grow. Full sun to part shade, they like moist soils and can be cut back in winter. I find they grow well in shade but just don’t get as tall.

Height: 100 to 150 cm (sometimes up to 200 cm), width up to 60 cm.

Growing: Eutrochium seeds need light to germinate. Press gently for soil contact, then barely cover. Space seedings 12 to18 inches apart (30 to 45 com).
