    Tall Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium fistulosum) is a statuesque plant growing up to 8' and more. Butterflies flock to the flowers, the largest of the Eupatoriums. The whorls of textured leaves look great all season long. Native to wet meadows in the eastern U.S. and Midwest, it requires a rich, moist soil. Hardy to Zones 4 - 9.
