I’m out collecting seeds from some Sweet Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium purpureum) with our newborn in a wrap, rockin’ that Kuato vibe pretty hard.

If you haven’t yet, pop over to this pinned thread to shout out a nursery that you’ve had a good experience with, possibly even one that’s local to your area.

What’s growing on with you all?

    Have any of you seen hollow joe pye (Eutrochium fistulosum) in the wild? It gets absolutely enormous, I’ve seen it 8-9’ tall and supposedly it can exceed 11’ in height. I want to get some for my garden but I suspect unless I really crowd it like it would be in its native environment, it’ll get really tall and get knocked over by the wind.
