Sun to Part SunZone: 4-8 144" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! Warning: This moisture-loving perennial is not for the gardening faint-of-heart! As soon as visitors gaze upon this most spectacular native, they insist on purchasing one. Joe Pye Weed bursts from the ground with bamboo-like stalks that quickly ascend to 12'. In midsummer, this clumping perennial is topped with massive, 1' wide, smokey-pink flower heads...the absolute favorite of butterflies! This is the true species, E. fistulosum, not one of the shorter species often sold as such in the trade. Pot size: 2 qt. (1.892 L)
