Eutrochium maculatum

Certified Organic

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.

PollinateHV is a collaboration between the Hudson Valley Seed Company and The Understory in support of threatened native pollinators.

We worked with a team of expert botanists, seed collectors, nursery growers and farmers to produce local ecotype native seeds to support at-risk Hudson Valley pollinators. You can find more information about this project at pollinatehv.org/seed-work.

Growing instructions

Cold stratification required: direct sow in fall or early winter into a clean, prepared bed. Or, for spring sowing, sow shallowly about 10 weeks before last frost, in rich, damp soil. Cover and refrigerate for 3 weeks. Afterwards, move to a 70-degree, well-lit spot for germination, which can take up to 28 days. Harden off and transplant outdoors into rich, moist soil after last frost.

About the artist

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.
