Eupatorium purpureum 'Euphoria™ Ruby' (Joe-Pye Weed)

Eupatorium purpureum ‘Euphoria™ Ruby’ (Joe-Pye Weed)

Eupatorium purpureum ‘Euphoria™ Ruby’ is a compact, early-flowering cultivar of the classic summer-blooming native perennial. Deep mauve flower clusters bloom on long, upright stems earlier than most Joe-Pye Weeds and continue into fall, providing a reliable food source for pollinators.

Coarsely serrated, dark green leaves grow up to 12" long beneath the fragrant, vanilla-scented flower clusters. Compact and hardy, this native perennial reaches just 24–30" tall, making it ideal for small spaces, front-of-border plantings, or containers. Its early blooms and manageable size make it a favorite for both gardeners and pollinators alike.
