Joe Pye weed is a showstopper of a prairie native, producing huge, puffy
flower heads in late summer. It prefers moist soils, but with its extensive
root system, it also tolerates drought well. It is a large plant, growing 4
to 6 feet tall.
Closely related, hardy ageratum is a spreading plant that grows to only 2
feet tall. Another relative, white snakeroot, reaches 4 to 5 feet tall. All
are great for naturalistic or cottage plantings and for attracting
butterflies.
