About This Plant
Strong stems keep this Joe Pye weed vertical without staking. It produces pink flowers that are covered with pollinators in late summer and early fall. It does exceptionally well in full sun and likes moist soils that are high in organic matter, so consider it for a rain garden or riparian areas. It will spread and could overwhelm small landscapes.
