Spotted Joe-Pye Weed is a coarse, clumping perennial with a whorled leaf arrangement bearing 3-6 lanceolate leaves at each node. The plant's name comes from its characteristic dark purple spots on its stems, though sometimes the stems are solid dark purple. Like the other Eupatoriums, this is a butterfly magnet and does well in moist to wet sites.
