Eutrochium dubium

coastal plain Joe-Pye weed

Coastal Joe-Pye weed is another gorgeous member of the Joe-Pye genus; growing on stout, delicately hairy purple stems, it forms impressive, late-blooming clumps in moist, fertile, and humusy soils, typical of wetlands and water edges. This tall, showy species is best in wet meadow gardens or for naturalizing, where it will attract late-summer and fall pollinators.
