The common Joe-Pye Weed (Eupatorium fistulosum), dosen't have flashy flowers. But, the swallowtails and other butterflies sure do love them. Close inspection of the large, pink flowerheads will result in finding numerous bees, wasps, butterflies and other assorted critters.
Some of these flowers in my yard have reached 8 feet tall, they sway with the breeze and attract many visitors.
The Joe-pye is common throughout the region and prefers moist areas.
