Douglas Hunt on Aug 31, 2013Looks like your parents have Joe Pye weed (Eupatorium spp). I've never seen it get 20 feet high, but it certainly got to 10 in my New York garden.Helpful Reply

Yvonne B on Aug 31, 2013well now that I think about it I was measuring the height from the bottom of the deck columns, there is a hill that these are growing from that is maybe 6 feet or could be 8 feet higher than the very bottom of the deck columns. I'm not good at judging distance as you can tell, especially from memory. But yes, it stays damp, his place is in the Fog clouds most of the morning till after noon most days and the deck is always covered in dew every morning when we go out at sunrise. My Profile picture is a picture from his back deck looking out. After going and looking that is what this plant is, thank you so much for your help. Now I can tell my daughter. From the pictures I looked through looks like humming birds like it so it will be a keeper. Do you know if it will come back from the root next year?Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Sep 01, 2013It will not only come back but self-sow in a happy spot, which it sounds like that would be. There are a large number of Joe Pyes, and they all share that they are great plants for pollinators, and wildlife in general.Helpful Reply

Gretchen on Sep 01, 2013Butterflies love Joe Pye Weed, so if it is in a spot that is ok with your parents, the butterflies will be very happy if it is just left there! I've seen huge groups of it planted at a botanical garden and it is stunning!Helpful Reply
