Eupatorium dubium
Little Joe
Eupatorium dubium is a little-known dwarf species
of Joe-Pye, native in moist soils from Maine south to South
Carolina. In appearance, E. dubium is similar to E. purpureum,
but is more tolerant of light shade. This selection was
discovered by Steve Lighty at the Conard-Pyle Nursery in
Pennsylvania. The 4' tall stems are clothed with whorls of green
leaves and topped in midsummer with dome-shaped heads of
lavender flowers...a real bonanza for keeping butterflies at eye
level. As with most Joe-Pye weed, moist soil is best.
