Susan R on Aug 12, 2012It looks like Joe Pye weed. They grow wild but you can also buy them from a nursery, as I did. :-) Butterflies love them.Helpful Reply

Ellen H on Aug 12, 2012Is it tall? Joe Pye is pretty tall, I think. I had something growing in the woods across from my house that was a butterfly magnet as well - a very nondescript vine with tiny white flowers that I finally identified as climbing hempweed. The land across the road was cleared but I'm going to keep my eyes open for some of that vine I might could transplant to a corner of my yard. The butterflies were crazy for it.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Aug 13, 2012I can attest to Joe Pye being a bee and butterfly magnet. In my garden it grew to towering heights, but that depends on conditions. There are smaller cultivars (Eupatorium dubium 'Little Joe' is one) that can be easier to use in the home garden.Helpful Reply

Paul M on Aug 14, 2012I've been looking at and collecting plants for years but for some reason I missed this one. Yes it does look like Joe Pye weed to me as well. Thanks for the help in figuring this out.Helpful Reply
