Flower of the Day: Joe-Pye Weed

The flower clusters of joe-pye weed appear in mid to late summer and typically last until hard frost. The most common types easily reach 6 feet tall, but there are also shorter species and cultivars. The tallest varieties work well at the back of a border where they can command attention at the end of summer. Joe-pye weed needs moist, well-drained soil.
