Tips For Growing Eupatorium (Joe Pye Weed

Eupatorium (Joe Pye Weed) is a genus of native plants that are generally late-season bloomers, with highly attractive, nectar-bearing flowers that are an important late season food source for butterflies and bees.
Preferred growing conditions:

  • Plant in most soil types including clay. Place in full to part sun sites. Mulch with any common mulch material to help maintain moist soil .
  • Water regularly as these plants don't like dry growing conditions. Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium) is a good choice for rain gardens.
  • Deadheading recommended to keep the plants from looking messy at the end of the growing season. It will also prevent excessive re-seeding in damp soil areas.
  • Fertilize lightly in the fall with a half and half blend of Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost.

Special comments:

Good growth

"I started my seeds in a pot in the location I wanted to plant. Seeds grew well, but I changed my mind about the location. I transplanted them into the ground. We've had a super dry summer and they have grown and flowered with little help from me. I didn't even water them but a couple times. The flowers look just like the pictures. The plants are between one and two feet right now. I started them in May."
