Gateway Joe Pye Weed is a bushy woody perennial with whorls of coarse dark leaves on its wine-red stems. The large flowerhead on top opens to hundreds of tiny sweetly fragrant rose-pink flowers in summer, attracting bees and butterflies. Best bloom in full sun and moist, well-drained soils. Tolerates light afternoon shade in the South.
