Eupatoriadelphus fistulosus
Eupatoriadelphus fistulosus, (Eutrochium fistulosum, Eupatorium fistulosum), is called Hollow Joe-Pye weed, Trumpetweed, or Purple Thoroughwort. It is a North American flowering plant in the sunflower family, native to southern Canada and throughout the eastern and south central United States from Maine west to Ontario, Wisconsin, and Missouri and south as far as Florida and Texas. The species name fistulosum refers to the tubular stem.
Eutrochium fistulosum is an herbaceous perennial plant sometimes as much as 11 ft. tall. It is found in moist, rich soil alongside streams and marshes, or in wet forests. It flowers from mid-summer to the first frosts, makes an attractive backdrop in garden plots, and is very attractive to butterflies, bees, and other nectar-feeding insects.
The plant has one to many erect stems, which are green with purple dots or dashes. The upper stems are reddish or purplish. Leaves and primary subdivisions of the flower head appear in whorls of 3–5. Leaves are large, long and sharply toothed. One plant can produce several flower heads in a branching array, each head with 4-7 pink or purple disc flowers but no ray flowers.

Prices listed are subject to change, based upon size change and availability.
We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.
We have some species that are not listed, as we have too few of them to make a full listing plausible. You can always inquire.
We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
