Spotted Joe Pye Weed

Spotted Joe-Pye Weed is a robust perennial that can reach heights of up to six feet, making it a magnificent addition to any garden. From late summer to early fall, it sports large, fluffy clusters of mauve-pink flowers that are a magnet for butterflies and other pollinators. The plant's strong, sometimes purple-spotted stems and whorled leaves add architectural interest to the landscape. It thrives in wetter conditions, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens or alongside water features.

• Cut back in late winter to early spring to promote healthy new growth.
• Divide clumps in the spring every 3-4 years to maintain vigor and control size.
• Allow seedlings to naturalize in suitable areas or remove to prevent overcrowding.
• May benefit from staking if taller stalks become floppy.
• Can be pruned to half height in early summer to reduce overall height by the time it's ready to bloom
