Description

Eupatorium (Eutrochium) dubium 'Baby Joe' stays short compared to its big brothers, but produces the same fragrant clouds of lavender-pink to mauve blooms that attract hoards of butterflies in late summer. Eupatorium dubium 'Baby Joe' is a sturdy perennial with coarse, dark, maroon-tinged green foliage and dark purple stems.

Commonly called Joe Pye Weed, Eupatorium dubium is native along the East Coast from S. Carolina to Nova Scotia.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
