Eupatorium purpureum var. atropurpureum 'Glow' (Joe-Pye Weed)
This Joe-Pye is a gorgeous perennial plant, even if you didn't love it for it's ability to feed butterflies. Plants grow to 4-5' tall, and form tidy clumps that become covered in pink flowers over many weeks. The plants become so large, they are like a small shrub. As Milkweed is used to feed monarch caterpillars, the nectar of Joe Pye can feed ALL butterflies, including the monarch butterfly, swallowtails, and many more! Won the Award of Garden Merit (A.G.M.) from the Royal Horticultural Society.
