Joe-Pye Weed, Trumpetweed, Queen Of The Meadow, Hollow Joe-Pye Weed, Eupatoriadelphus fistulosus, Eupatorium fistulosum
Towering over the garden, Eutrochium fistulosum (Joe-Pye Weed) is an upright, clump-forming perennial boasting huge domed clusters of small, vanilla-scented, pinkish-lavender flowers in mid-summer to early fall. Borne atop erect, strong stems which are hollow, the long-lasting blossoms are attractive to butterflies and pollinators in search of nectar. They give way to attractive, soft buff colored seed heads which persist well into winter. Narrow, lance-shaped leaves, up to 10 in. long (25 cm), are whorled along the erect stem. Native to eastern North America, Eutrochium fistulosum provides a wonderful garden presence and late season flowers at a time when choices may be limited. Use it in the informal setting of a cottage garden or allow it to naturalize in a woodland garden.
