Rain Garden & Wet

Sweet Joe Pye Weed

Eutrochium purpureum

perennial — comes back on its own year after year once established.

A stately back-of-border native — whorled leaves climb tall, vanilla-scented stems topped with big, domed clouds of dusty-mauve flowers that hum with butterflies and bees in late summer. Commanding structure for a rain garden or moist meadow edge.

• Pollinator magnet
• Bold structure
