I'm out collecting seeds from some Sweet Joe Pye Weed (Eutrochium purpureum) with our newborn in a wrap, rockin' that Kuato vibe pretty hard.
If you haven't yet, pop over to this pinned thread to shout out a nursery that you've had a good experience with, possibly even one that's local to your area.
What's growing on with you all?
Can you dedicate a few square feet / a square meter in the garden for a few transplants? Having clustered colonies of these tall plants has treated us well, and if you're doing the starts yourself it's easy enough to multisow a few cells to get a head start.
I'm working on converting my entire yard to natives eventually, so I'll make sure to get a bunch of seeds or plugs for it when I do. Joe pye is so awesome. Absolute butterfly/bee magnet.
