This listing is for one packet containing 200 seeds of Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium maculatum). The seeds were freshly collected in the fall of 2025 and were packaged for planting in 2026.
Joe Pye Weed features a large, dome-shaped inflorescence of rosy-pink flowers, approximately 7 inches wide, that bloom from late summer to early fall. While the leaves do not have a noticeable fragrance, the flowers consist of tiny, vanilla-scented, disc-shaped blooms. The flowers are rich in nectar and pollen, making them ideal for bouquets.
This plant attracts butterflies and other pollinators and serves as a host for the great tiger moth and the three-lined flower moth larvae. Joe Pye Weed thrives in full sun to partial shade and matures to a height of 3 to 7 feet with a spread of 3 to 4 feet. It requires rich soil—whether clay, loam, or sand—and prefers constant moisture.
With its tall stature and purple-spotted stems, Joe Pye Weed makes an excellent companion for plants like wild bergamot, coneflowers, and prairie grass. This plant is also resistant to deer and rabbits and can be dried for use in flower arrangements.
Each purchase includes a fact sheet, flower photo, seeds, and planting instructions.
The seeds are tested for germination by the State of Wisconsin and packaged for 2026. Whittlesey Creek Wildflower Farm is a licensed nursery grower and seed labeler in Ashland Wisconsin, Bayfield County.
