Hollow Stem Joe Pye weed is a tall woody perennial with whorls of coarse dark leaves on its purple stems. The large flowerhead on top opens to hundreds of tiny, sweetly fragrant, pale lavender-pink flowers in summer, attracting bees and butterflies. Best bloom in full sun and moist, well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
