Family: Asteraceae
Origin/Distribution: According to Go Botany this plant exhibits wide morphological variability and a wide distribution. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center says it is present in 36 states and 10 Canadian provinces. It is native to Maine and these plants were grown from seed collected in New England.
Habitat: low, wet places in fields and meadows, wet margins - as on edges of lakes, rivers, marshes, fens, swamps, etc. and in drainage ditches
More: Spotted Joe-Pye Weed is slow to wake up in the spring. It is a statuesque plant that works well at the back of a border or growing in conjunction with other strong growers like Helenium, New England Aster, and Wild Bergamot. If its height feels oppressive to you, cut it back by a third (or cut part of it back to stagger height) by the end of June. This delays flowering a bit. Its showy flowers bloom for a long time and provide nectar in the late part of the season. It stands well in the winter. It is a larval host for 27 species of caterpillars. Has been used medicinally. Deer and rabbit resistant. Salt tolerant. More info coming soon.
