Gateway Joe Pye Weed

Description

Gateway Joe Pye Weed has masses of beautiful plumes of lightly-scented purple flowers at the ends of the stems from late summer to late fall, which emerge from distinctive indigo flower buds, and which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its large serrated narrow leaves emerge dark green in spring, turning forest green in colour throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. The dark red stems can be quite attractive.
