Eutrochium purpureum (Sweet Joe Pye weed)
Eutrochium purpureum 
Sweet Joe Pye or Purple Joe Pye is a wonderfully ornamental perennial with massive domed clusters of vanilla-scented flowers atop strong purple stems.
 
As with the other Eutrochium species this is a favorite plant for a variety of pollinators and will serve as gorgeous backdrop for other perennials.
 
Sweet Joe Pye works in part sun to shade and moist to average soils, not drought tolerant.
