Growing & Maintenance Tips for Eupatorium fistulosum

Joe-Pye Weed thrives in full sun to partial shade and moist, rich soil. Keep soil evenly moist and mulch to conserve water. Cut back stems in early summer for a bushier shape and in fall or spring for cleanup, or leave them standing for wildlife. Divide clumps occasionally to manage size and enjoy its tall, pollinator-friendly blooms year after year.
