How tall is Joe Pye Weed?
Hollow joe pye weed is a native herbaceous perennial typically found in the low moist ground of meadows, woods, and fields. It is an erect and clump-forming plant that usually grows to 4 to 7 feet tall. Its great height makes it a dramatic accent in the back of a garden. Hollow joe pye (eupatorium fistulosum) is the tallest at around 10 feet. Spotted joe pye (eupatorium maculatum) is usually about 6 feet tall, and coastal joe pye (eupatorium dubium) is the shortest at about 4 feet, with a cultivar marketed as ‘baby joe’ growing only 3 feet tall.
