Description
RHS 'Perfect for Pollinators'. Very attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, Eupatorium is another star of the wildlife garden. Joe Pye Weed also remains upright when dead and provides winter habitat.
Ideal plant for the back of the border, it bears plentiful pink purple clusters of flowers in late summer and autumn. The flowers give way to seed heads that if left during the winter months look very pretty in frost. Very attractive to bees and butterflies.
