Joe Pye Weed (spotted)
Eutrochium maculatum
A butterfly magnet that stays a manageable size.
Spotted Joe Pye Weed is found primarily growing in the Northeast and upper Midwest regions of North America. Smaller than Sweet Joe Pye Weed, it reaches just 4-6 feet, which is much more manageable for most perennial gardens. The wide, fluffy, pink-purple flower clusters attract pollinators of all kinds. Easy to grow and will bloom the first year if started early.

Pearl Cowan is influenced by botanical illustration, Dutch forest floor still lifes, alchemical/occult illustration, religious painting, and landscapes. In this acrylic painting, she sets Spotted Joe Pye Weed against a backdrop of one of her signature Radiant Voids, giving it a sense of supernatural resonance.
