Baby Joe Pye Weed
General Information
Baby Joe offers the same look as the commonly grown variety but at a much smaller scale. This makes it much easier to fit into the middle of the flower border or even into large containers. Baby Joe has sturdy dark purple-red stems, dark green foliage, and large panicles of mauve-purple flowers. Butterflies are attracted in droves to this beautiful little plant! This plant is also nice for adding color in the garden at a time when many other plants are finished for the season. Even though the fruit is not ornamentally significant the burgundy stems can be quite attractive.
Additional Information
