This native North American wildflower brings tall, sturdy stems and a wealth of nectar-rich blooms to the back of the border, meadow gardens, and pollinator plantings. Its smaller stature makes it a better fit for average-sized gardens than the species, while still delivering the same butterfly appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe Pye Weed is a magnet for butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects, and its seed heads provide winter interest. The deep green, lance-shaped foliage forms an upright clump that adds structure and texture throughout the growing season. Use it in rain gardens, cottage gardens, or naturalized areas where its late-summer color can be appreciated up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, clump-forming perennial with upright stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge, domed clusters of mauve-pink flowers in late summer to early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly attractive to butterflies and other pollinators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep green, lance-shaped leaves on sturdy stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides winter interest with persistent seed heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eupatorium maculatum 'Baby Joe' (syn.

Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball, place the plant at the same depth it was growing in its pot, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Joe Pye Weed is relatively low-maintenance. Water during dry spells, especially in full sun, and apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Cut back old stems in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Divide clumps every few years if they become overcrowded. This compact selection rarely needs staking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne healthy starter Eupatorium Baby Joe (Joe Pye Weed) live plant, ready for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"8 Store Seeds Sejahtera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67871862063240,"sku":"seed - joe pye weed-405","price":17.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/s-l960_a1244bfa-72d7-40a4-afde-b13be3ce68a1.jpg?v=1793979144","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/eupatorium-baby-joe-joe-pye-weed-live-plant-healthy-starter-butterfly-plant","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
