Nothing says summer more than the beautiful, full pink blooms of Sweet Joe Pye. A magnet for bees, butterflies, birds and more - this species is a showstopper for everyone and every garden!
Sweet Joe-Pye grows from a fibrous root system in meadows and woodland edges with full to partial sun, damp-to-dry moisture conditions.
This is a native wildflower that grows well in the home garden as a tall backdrop. Look for it and other Eupatorium species in our Privacy Pollinator Fence Native Seed Mix.
How To Plant Sweet Joe Pye Seeds:
Direct sow seeds into prepared soil in late fall once soil temps are below 50 degrees (usually mid to late November). Can also be planted in winter during natural freeze/thaw cycles and early spring. Plant shallow, no deeper than 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep and lightly rake to work seed in. Plant in full sun to partial shade. Can take 3 growing seasons to fully establish.
