An amazing plant that is a native herb, a wildflower, a butterfly plant and an ornamental for the flower bed. Composite, rose-purple flowers have a vanilla-like scent. Possibly named for a Native American doctor, Joe Pye, who used it medicinally in early Massachusetts. It reputedly stimulates circulation and sweating, makes a gentle laxative and is used for kidney problems. Some Native American tribes still consider Joe Pye Weed to be an aphrodisiac. In danger of extinction in the wild, direct sow outdoors in fall.
