Sweet Joe-Pye Weed (Eutrochium purpureum)

From $6.00

I’m native to New York state and Tompkins County, NY

I attract butterflies, especially monarchs and swallowtails, along with native bees.

My blooms have a vanilla scent.

I like to live in moist areas, wooded slopes, wet meadows and along stream banks

Many people think of me as a weed, but when planted in groups I am spectacular in the rear of a garden, in meadows, and along water edges.
