HOW TO PLANT
FIND A LOCATION - Joe Pye Weed will thrive in both full and partial sunlight. The location should be moist, but it will thrive in dryer grounds as well.
PLANT IT - One of the most simple plants to plant, simply take a "plug" out of the ground. The hole that you plugged should be as deep as the container is tall. Drop your Joe Pye Weed in the ground and cover back up with dirt.
WATER IT IN - After you plant your new native perennial you will need to water them in. They will need water once week until they start to sprout.
ENJOY - Simplicity turns into beauty. The Joe Pye Weed that you plant will sure to be an eye catcher come the mid Summer.
**Growing Tip**
Joe Pye Weed grows best in wet soil, but will thrive in dryer soil as well. You should thin out the plant on a regular basis to promote vigorous growth.
