Description
A long time favorite in our gardens and one the butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for planting, the ‘Gateway’Joe Pye Weed is a more compact North American Native selection that produces large 12 to 18 inch diameter dome-shape clusters of dusky rose pink flowers all summer long and into early fall. Gateway grows shorter (4-5' tall) and bushier than the species with tighter flower clusters that put on a spectacular show in the summer garden. Erect stems are clothed in lance-shaped dark green leaves up to 8 inches long that contrast nicely with the deep wine red stems.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 5 feet tall, the Gateway Joe Pye Weed is ideal for use as a specimen or in groupings in perennial borders or behind low growing shrubs in landscape borders. A fine addition to butterfly gardens, pink theme gardens and consistently moist bog and meadow gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 2 feet apart for groupings; 5' or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Eupatorium 'Gateway' is easy to grow in a consistently moist, humusy and fertile soil. It thrives in full to mostly sun however tolerates some light afternoon shade.
Plant Long & Prosper!
