    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A Butterfly Magnet, the extravagant Joe Pye Weed is crowned with clusters of bright pink flowers in late summer. Eupatorium maculatum is perfect for planting in damp soil in marshy areas, along streambanks, and on pond edges. Joe Pye Weed ( (also called Spotted Joe Pye Weed) ) also thrives in rich garden soil. If you love Joe Pye but have too much shade, try Sweet Joe Pye Weed. Hardy to Zones 3 - 6.

    This American wildflower is a wonderful stately garden perennial much prized in England and Europe. Excellent for cut flowers - large pyramidal frosty-pink blooms are produced profusely on strong stems mid-summer thru fall. The medium green leaves form elegant architectural whorls. Beautiful in borders, meadow gardens or dried arrangements, and butterflies love it! 3 - 6 feet tall, space 24 inches apart.
