As we head towards mid-summer and nectar sources become more scarce, it's not uncommon to spot less pollinator activity in the garden. But there's one plant that instantly attracts bees, butterflies, and many other beneficial insects: Joe Pye weed.
Joe Pye weed is a native plant that produces huge clusters of nectar-rich blooms, lasting until fall. Not only do pollinators love its flowers, but its towering height (reaching 4-7 ft tall) provides shade and shelter for wildlife.
