Little Joe Pye weed is a cultivar of a native plant of the eastern parts of North America. As its name suggests, Baby Joe has a smaller form reaching 4 feet in height and width and with its shorter stems the flower heads tend to remain upright and not flop over. It bears scented pinkish-mauve flowers in late summer and early fall which are loved by pollinators and especially butterflies.

This plant requires consistent soil moisture and will tolerate part shade. It is an excellent plant for a border and will naturalize freely and may need to be monitored.
