Joe-Pye Weed or Trumpetweed (Eupatorium fistulosum) is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to eastern North America, in southeast Canada and throughout the eastern and central United States.
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 1.5-3 m (5-10 feet) tall, found in moist, rich soil alongside ditches and marshes, or in wet forests. It flowers from mid-summer to the first frosts, it makes an attractive backdrop in garden plots, and is very attractive to butterflies, bees, and other nectar-feeding insects.
