JoJo Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium fistulosum ‘JoJo’) dazzles summer and fall landscapes with its abundant, fluffy pink blooms held on dark maroon stems. Reaching just 3 to 4 feet tall—smaller than most Joe Pye weeds—this compact selection brings the drama of lush, pollinator-friendly flowers without overwhelming nearby plants. Its blooms last for weeks, thanks to their sterile, double florets, ensuring a showy and extended color display that continues right up to a hard frost. Whether you’re enhancing a cottage-style border, brightening a rain garden, or filling a container on a sunny patio, JoJo’s upright form and vivid pink pompoms make it a standout alternative to taller Joe Pye varieties.
Beyond its striking appearance, JoJo Joe Pye Weed remains easy to maintain and is deer-resistant. Native to North America, it adapts well to consistently moist, rich soils and thrives in full sun, though it can handle light shade if water needs are met. Grow it in meadow-style plantings for a naturalistic effect, combine it with ornamental grasses in a matrix planting, or use it in a focal group where its extended blooms can be appreciated up close. This pollinator favorite adds valuable nectar sources for bees and butterflies, though its sterile flowers don’t produce seed—ideal for gardeners seeking a polite, non-spreading specimen.
JoJo Joe Pye Weed Care
Plant JoJo Joe Pye Weed in full sun or part sun, ideally in a spot that offers at least six hours of direct light. Provide consistently moist, fertile soil, but ensure good drainage to prevent standing water. Water more frequently during hot spells and while buds form, as dryness can hamper flower development. A light application of balanced fertilizer in early spring supports vigorous growth, while compost topdressing each season can improve soil health. Pinching back the stems in late spring can encourage a bushier, slightly shorter plant with more bloom clusters.
If you’d like to shape or freshen up the appearance, deadhead spent blooms carefully without disturbing unopened clusters. In colder zones, leaving stems up until late winter can lend vertical interest and help protect the crown. For container growth, choose a deep pot and water regularly, ensuring that roots never dry out completely. Dividing mature clumps every few years can reinvigorate them if they become crowded or produce fewer flowers.
JoJo Joe Pye Weed Spacing
When planting in a row or massing multiple JoJo Joe Pye Weed plants, allow 2 to 3 feet between them for ample airflow and to accommodate their mature spread. This spacing creates a seamless stand while preventing overcrowding. If growing in a container, opt for one at least 12 to 14 inches in diameter and depth, providing room for root expansion and a sufficient reservoir of moisture and nutrients.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
