Little Joe Eupatorium Plant (Joe Pye Weed)

These two Little Joe's were definitely not little! They grew so fast that the pretty purple blossoms stood high above the surrounding yellow Lantanas. The bees and butterflies love them! Thank You, GrowJoy! Nancy Gebhardt

Great Choice For Smaller Gardens!

I've been growing 'Little Joe' for many years and love it! It doesn't take up too much space in your garden! Love the beautiful flowers that attract Butterflies and Bees!

Butterfly heaven!

This Little Joe attracts the most unusual bees, all who were very peaceful. But the most fun was the different species that I didn't know were local to Long Island. My favorite was the Gray Hairstreak, how unusual! And a few others I didn't recognize. I have 2, will put more out back as I make more room for perennials.
