HOLLOW JOE PYE, GIANT WHITE BONESET
SKU: 1217-10
Eutrochium fistulosum (Eupatorium fistulosum), also called hollow Joe-Pye weed, trumpetweed, or thoroughwort, is a perennial North American flowering plant that is native to Canada the United States. It is a herbaceous perennial plant sometimes as much as 350 cm (140 in; 11 ft 6 in) tall. It flowers from mid-summer to the first frosts, makes an attractive backdrop in garden plots, and is very attractive to butterflies, bees, and other nectar-feeding insects. In addition, it is a larval host to the Clymene moth, eupatorium borer moth, ruby tiger moth, and the three-lined flower moth. One plant can produce several flower heads in a branching array. The plants can be grown in a moist location, and also perform well in regular soil if some shade is present.
Type: Hardy perennial
Seeds per pack: 10
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Location: Sun or part sun
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Germination: These seeds require light to germinate. Sow the seeds on surface and water in. Do not bury the seeds. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 60 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
