(aka: Eutrochium fistulosum) Warning: Eupatorium fistulosum is a moisture-loving giant perennial that's not for the gardening faint-of-heart! As soon as visitors gaze upon this most spectacular North American native, they insist on purchasing one. Giant Joe-Pye weed bursts from the ground with bamboo-like stalks that quickly ascend to 12'. In midsummer, the towering clumps are is topped with massive, 1' wide, smoky-pink flower heads...an absolute favorite of butterflies! This is the true species, and not one of the shorter species often sold as such in the trade.
