Plant information

Plant Description

Eupatorium dubium Baby Joe is a compact, late-flowering perennial valued for its dense heads of soft pink flowers that appear from late summer into autumn. Held on strong, upright stems above deep green foliage, the blooms provide excellent height and structure without becoming overpowering. Highly attractive to bees and butterflies, it is an ideal choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. Thriving in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil, Baby Joe works beautifully in borders, prairie-style plantings, and mixed perennial schemes, delivering reliable colour and interest as the season draws to a close
