#ProPlantTips for Care
Plant them in either full sun or partial shade in the warmest climates. They'll need at least four hours of sunshine a day to develop the sturdiest stems.
Supply an even, consistent schedule of water as Joe Pye Weed will not tolerate dry sites. Add a three inch layer of mulch over the root system to cut down on surface evaporation...but pull it back away from touching the stems.
Leave them standing for winter interest. In late winter, cut all the stems to the ground before it starts growing.
A happy, healthy stand of Gateway Joe Pye Weed becomes a dynamic addition to your flower garden. Order yours today!
