Description
Eupatorium dubium 'Baby Joe' is a hybrid eupatorium selection that stands out for its rather compact habit and abundant flowering in shades of pink to mauve. This perennial forms a beautiful clump of leafy stems adorned, from July to September, with large inflorescences composed of tiny flowers that are loved by bees and butterflies. It thrives in moist to wet soil and is particularly well-suited for pond borders. Its fuzzy and delicate appearance gives the garden a touch of rustic charm, and its flowers attract numerous butterflies. It is also a great flower for cutting.
The 'Baby Joe' Eupatorium is a horticultural variety discovered in Rijpwetering, Netherlands, in 2003. It is an herbaceous perennial from the aster family. It is derived, among others, from Eupatorium dubium, now renamed Eutrochium dubium. The latter is a botanical species native to eastern North America, extremely hardy, and typically found in wet areas such as sandy marshes, riverbanks, and wet thickets.
'Baby Joe' forms a dense clump of upright and sturdy, dark coloured stems reaching 60 to 90 cm in height and 40 to 50 cm in width. The stems bear very dark green leaves that are 5 to 15 cm long, elliptical, strongly veined, coarsely toothed at the edges, arranged in whorls of 3 to 4. Flowering begins in July, earlier or later depending on the climate, and continues until September. It consists of hundreds of small fluffy heads tightly packed in generous rounded corymbs or terminal clusters that can reach 15 cm in diameter. This late flowering is nectar-rich, attracting numerous pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies, precious for enhancing the garden in August and September. After pollination, the flowers produce numerous small seeds with bristles that are dispersed by the wind. Lightweight and decorative, they dry attractively for winter. All the above-ground vegetation of the plant is deciduous in winter. The leafy stems of the eupatorium reappear quite late in spring.
Eupatorium dubium 'Baby Joe' thrives in any soil that remains moist, in a sunny or slightly shaded location, and it is a nectar-rich plant. It finds a place at the edge of water features, but also in cottage flower beds in moist soil. It can be paired, for example, with bugbanes, Meadow-rues, and Goat's Beards, which are equally robust and hardy perennials that thrive in similar environments. It is also stunning in flower beds and bouquets with waterside asters.

Planting and care
Eupatoriums naturally thrive in moist or even damp soils, limestone or not, humus-bearing and light or more clayey and loamy. They need a certain degree of soil moisture. Choose a very sunny or slightly shaded exposure. These are hardy and sturdy plants that have few enemies. Eupatorium Baby Joe emerges quite late in the spring. It is resistant to powdery mildew, but its leaves can burn in dry soil. Prune the dry stems in the spring, when the vegetation restarts.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
