'Little Joe' Joe Pye weed
Comments (6)it gets huge. at least 5'. We had this exact conversation 2 years ago, but its gone now. I tried pinching mine early in the season as an experiment to keep the size in check, but it didn't work out. It delayed them way too long and they were too small. I divided and moved mine last fall to at least be in back of the border so the height didn't block out other things. And it is pretty and a butterfly magnet, but watch out! This is in August where the section on the left was not cut back. The two sections on the right were cut back. Not sure just when. Its written down somewehre....See More'Baby Joe' Joe Pye Weed
Comments (22)CLBlakey, I had no idea how toxic I was, until I did a search online!!! Since it was what the landscape designer suggested, I just wanted to check to see how it looked, then I found out that it was that toxic! WOW! Now, CLBlakey and Terry, tell me though, does Monkshood at least look good?! How tall did it get for you? Now, I am wrecking my brain, trying to think of something tall and good looking that will be perfect for that partial shade spot with moist soil behind the Incrediball hydrangeas... so far, JPW Gateway is still leading. How about bugbane (with the tall, dark leaves?) or Ligularia with those tall yellow spikes? Aruncus would have been perfect if the plumes were not white.... sigh! Any more suggestion would be very much appreciated!...See MorePink Joe Pye Weed?
Comments (4)It's an interesting plant. There are 3 different variations. Pluchea odorata/marsh fleabane, Pluchea odorata odorata/sweetscent, and Pluchea odorata succulenta/saltmarsh fleabane. I wonder which variation your specimen is? I couldn't find any online info about how to key them, but I'm sure Weakley's flora would have it. http://herbarium.unc.edu/flora.htm...See More"Ruby" joe pye weed
Comments (6)I hope I'm as happy with it. I pulled up a daylily last night to plant it. I wanted something for the pollinators but it's been sitting out in the garden bed in its pot and haven't seen any activity yet. I'm having trouble figuring out if it's in bloom or old blooms. Reminds me of my yarrow after they fade but still kind of looks like it's blooming....See Morejoepyeweed
