Eupatorium Maculata Riesenschirm, commonly known as just Joe-Pye Weed is a beautiful, deciduous, bushy perennial with wonderful almost erect, purple stems with deep green leaves that hold in the months of July through to September these wonderful pink fluffy flower heads which contrast well against the stems and foliage.
Ideal for the back of the border with its height and colour, although can also suit flower beds and borders, cottage planting schemes and can be a great wildlife garden addition! The Eupatorium Maculata Riesenschirm is often a favourite with butterflies which is always a good thing!
Eupatorium Maculata Riesenschirm care
Thriving in full sunlight or partial shade and a well drained area this is a great all round perennial. Generally disease and pest free and only requires a simple yearly prune. We recommend cutting back at the end of the season by cutting the stems after flowering. Apply a good quality compost to the base of the plant once done.
