Hollow Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium fistulosum)
Eutrochium fistulosum is the scientific name for the native species more commonly known as Hollow Joe Pye Weed which crucially supports rich ecological and faunal networks by providing abundant late‑summer to fall nectar and pollen for native and migratory pollinators, especially native bees, butterflies (including monarchs and swallowtails), and various hoverflies when many other floral resources are dwindling.
Growing well in nearly all soil types, and tolerant of most moisture conditions, Hollow Jow Pye Weed stands tallest of all the Pyes, and does indeed have mostly hollow/pithy stems which are often utilized by native bees to rear their young after the plant is well established and mature.
The tall clumps and coarse stems of Hollow Joe Pye Weed offer shelter and overwintering habitat for beneficial insects and spiders, while its seeds feed songbirds in autumn and winter. The plant’s deep fibrous roots help stabilize soil, improve moisture retention, and enhance wetland and meadow resiliency, and because it is a native species adapted to local hydrology and nutrient cycles, it promotes biodiversity, supports host‑plant relationships, and strengthens ecosystem function in prairie, meadow, and riparian plantings.

Packet quantities:
We pride ourselves on ethical, hands on, ecological management, using no mechanical or chemical methods whatsoever.
All of our native seed is hand reared, hand picked, and hand packed from native prairies under our exclusive management, never breaking chain of custody from the field until it is sent to you. Each packet is hand prepared for shipment by us, directly.
Small seed species will contain greater than 20-25 seed
Large seed species will contain greater than 10-15 seed
All packets are individually marked at the bottom of the front label with expected count, however most if not all packets will have many more than the minimum count by default.
It is our mission to spread the wealth of native plant and pollinator ecological sustainability, and educate back yard gardeners as well as corporate and government entities in how to germinate, grow, and benefit from native synergies.
Thank you for your support, it is because of you, that we can grow together to do, what we do.🐛🦋🐝🐞🌾🌱🌼🧡
