Sweet Joe-Pye Weed grows from a fibrous root system in meadows, open woods with full to partial sun, damp-to-dry moisture conditions.
Whorled leaves grow off purple leaf nodes from a generally unbranched stalk.
This is a native wildflower that grows well in the home garden as a backdrop specimen.
Looking like a smoky purple haze from a distance, it flat topped flower arrays are composed of innumerable smaller flowers.
