Joe Pye Weed Little Joe #2

Compact growth habit compared to the species, ideal for smaller gardens; features fluffy plumes of mauve-pink flowers, attractive leaves and strong stems; tasty seeds for birds and nectar for butterflies. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics..
