Joe Pye Weed
Searching for a native wildflower to incorporate into your pollinator garden? Look no further than the sweet-smelling Joe Pye Weed, as the humble plant is a favorite among butterflies and other pollinators. Thick-stemmed with long, serrated foliage, Joe Pye Weed could easily be mistaken for milkweed with its tall clusters of dainty pink and purple flowers. A bushy plant that can grow up to seven feet tall, Joe Pye Weed blooms in midsummer and can be differentiated from milkweed by its vanilla fragrance.
