Spotted Joe-Pye Weed - Eutrochium maculatum *RPBB*

Attractive in the landscape as well as to pollinators, Spotted Joe-Pye Weed is a bold resident of moist soils. A wildlife hero, its seeds support birds, such as goldfinches, and its nectar feeds butterflies, moths and bees, including the Monarch Butterfly and the endangered Rusty Patched Bumble Bee. It is host to many butterflies and moths that rely on its foliage for caterpillar larval development.
