Appreciated for their stature, ease of cultivation, and attractive flowers, Eupatorium maculatum, commonly known as Joe-Pye Weed, are strong growing perennials that provide a wonderful garden presence. Native to North America, they are noted for their erect, purple-stained stems (therefore "maculata") that are branched with flat-topped, 4-5 in. clusters of eye-catching rose-pruple to mauve flowers. Often fragrant, their blossoms are attractive to bees and butterflies in search of nectar.
The West Branch Delaware River is one of two branches that form the Delaware River. It is approximately 90 mi (144 km) long, and flows through the U.S. states of New York and Pennsylvania.
Joe Pye weed is an amazing wild edible plant that is an herb, a wildflower, a butterfly plant and looks great in cultivated flower beds. The origin of the common name of this plant is uncertain however the most prevalent theory holds that it refers to a Native American named Joe Pye (Jopi), who used this perennial plant to cure typhus in the 1800�s. This is a hardy perennial that blooms when many other plants are finished and it lasts until the first hard frost. When made into a tea, it has many health benefits. Its other name, gravel root was listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia from 1820 to 1842.
