Eupatorium, or Joe Pye Weed, are a group of large, always impressive plants offering significant domed heads of individually tiny flowers arising from strong stems during summer. Sunny open aspect. Very happy in damp, but will tolerate much drier conditions. Recent name changes have put these into Eutrochium and Ageratina.
