Red Dwarf Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium)

'Red Dwarf' Joe-Pye-Weed (Eupatorium maculatum 'Dwarf Red') was selected for its short, compact size and large, showy, pink flower clusters. 'Red Dwarf' Joe Pye Weed is an outstanding European selection of our native Joe Pye weed. The name is a bit of a misnomer, as "red" refers to the plant's dark burgundy-red stems that hold the flowers, not a description of the flowers themselves. Nevertheless, this vigorous, mounding perennial is an outstanding part of the late summer garden with its superb flowers that attract multitudes of butterflies and native bees.

Leave standing over the winter as the flat-topped flower clusters provide winter interest and food for wildlife, capturing the snow to form a crowd of little white caps.
