Eupatorium

Joe-Pye Weed

Many have discovered the curative aspects of Eupatorium, yet only two have lent it their names: Eupator, a King of Pontus, and a Native American named Joe-Pye. We prescribe these undemanding perennials for whatever ails your gar­den. Some delegate this rather coarse and undeniably valiant member of the Asteraceae family to meadow gardens, but we’ve found that Eupatorium can provide balance and stability to formal situations as well. Best of all, butterflies love them! 

<i>Eupatorium maculatum</i> ‘Gateway’ <i>Eupatorium maculatum</i> ‘Gateway’

In late spring, ‘Gateway’s vig­­orous shoots burst through the mulch. Wine-colored stems develop large green coriaceous leaves, lending mass to the middle or rear of a mixed planting. Dense, broad flow­er clusters present a lavender-pur­ple that’s both strong and soft. This uniqu­ely muted color feels like fall and blends well with other late bloomers such as Rudbeckia or Aster ‘Bluebird’.

Blooms August–September

Size: 4' 0" high x 2' 0" wide.

Hardy to zone 4.
