Joe Pye Weed, Phantom

Phantom Joe Pye Weed has masses of beautiful plumes of lightly-scented lavender flowers with purple overtones at the ends of the stems from late summer to late fall, which emerge from distinctive fuchsia flower buds, and which are most effective when planted in groupings. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its serrated narrow leaves emerge dark green in spring, turning forest green in color throughout the season. The burgundy stems can be quite attractive.
