$8.99
Architectural perennial and butterfly magnet for medium-moist to wet soils in sunny or mostly sunny locations.
Usually reaches about 6' in height and in time spreads to about 4' wide, so leave some room around this giant. The sturdy stems rarely need staking. It has typical leaves for Spotted Joe Pye Weed: large, rather glossy, and growing in clusters of 5 (up to 12" long). The flat corymbs of dusty-rose flowers (up to 7" across and often slightly fragrant) appear from mid- to late summer and attract many nectar-seeking insects, including Monarchs. Some bees feed on the pollen, too. Host plant for several bugs and beetles; the seeds feed swamp sparrows.
Perfect for sunny to mostly sunny habitats with rich, fertile, moist to wet soils - this Eupatorium is the most tolerant to waterlogged soils! In summer droughts the leaves usually scorch (in nature it prefers somewhat cooler positions or constant wetness in the soil). Although it loves moisture, E. maculatum will grow fairly well in medium-moist soil and tolerates clay and sandy soils.
Tough and pest-free perennial with excellent ecological value, beautiful structural plant for sunny borders, meadows, cottage gardens, rain gardens, the banks of bodies of water, wildlife gardens, and pollinator or butterfly gardens. Great cut flower.
Blooming Time: July to August
Size: up to 6' tall x 4' wide
USDA Zones: 3 to 8
Culture: full sun, half sun (up to half shade); prefers rich, loamy soils
Moisture Needs: average to wet
Origin: native wildflower found across the U.S., except in west and southern states (USDA distribution map)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / yes - bees, bumblebees, long-horned bees, leaf-cutting bees, bee flies, butterflies (Monarchs), skippers, and moths
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep
Plant Combinations: examples of good companions include Aster, Chelone, Filipendula, Heliopsis, Helenium, perennial Helianthus, tall Phlox, Physostegia, and taller grasses like Andropogon gerardii or Panicum virgatum
