This Joe-Pye is a smaller cousin to the giants in the family. It grows 4-5' tall and is typically found in coastal wetlands and along tidal-influenced rivers. It adapts well however to a typical moist garden. Flowering occurs in mid-summer July-September and attracts lots of pollinating insects. A favorite of butterflies. This is a good garden-worthy replacement for non-native butterfly bush. Zone 3-9. PA ecotype.
