Eupatorium dubium 'Little Joe' - 2026

Eupatorium dubium 'Little Joe' is a captivating perennial that adds both texture and colour to sunny borders and meadows. This cultivar produces large, dome-shaped clusters of mauve-pink flowers atop sturdy, upright stems, creating a striking effect from mid to late summer. The dark green, lance-shaped leaves form a dense, bushy clump that supports the flowering stems. 'Little Joe' is particularly attractive to butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity.

Preferring full sun to part shade and moist, well-drained soil, 'Little Joe' is drought-tolerant once established and relatively low-maintenance. Its compact size makes it suitable for planting in smaller gardens, containers, or as a mid-border plant. Regular removal of spent flowers encourages prolonged blooming, while leaving some seed heads provides winter interest and food for birds. With its vibrant flowers and ecological benefits, 'Little Joe' is a valuable addition to any garden.
