Hi ya Christie!!! Long time no talk! I grew Joe Pye Weed for the first time this year, though I have been photographing it at the botanical gardens for years. I seen 'Little Joey' this year, and it was every bit of 5 foot tall. Made me wonder just how tall mine are supposed to get! I planted several of mine (indoor started from seed) and pinched them a couple times throughout the season, and they ae only about 3 foot tall,maybe less and are smothered with blooms and butterflies! I also planted in part sun, which makes a considerable difference compared to ones in full sun. Since it was a perennial I didnt do too much homework on, I didnt expect it to bloom the first year, so I just kept pinching it. Low and behold, it is blooming profusely! One thing I am curious of, some of the blooms are white, some are purple. And I dont mean the different stages of bloom some are loaded with almost spent blooms, and they are snow white. Wasnt expecting this! I say, pinch yours throughout the season, maybe plant in part sun to keep them shorter. I'll take a pic if I get a minute. Take care Christie!

"sun rose", I gather that is Helianthemum? Digging Dog sells a few types. You might search on Helianthemum instead of "sun rose", perhaps that will help. Here is a link that might be useful: Helianthemum at Digging Dog

EVERYONE: I have lots of babies left so please speak up & of course I'll bring extras to the trade too. drtdgr (Susan): I've got your babies set aside and yes please on the "in returns" ! Teresa, I'll bring you a bunch of the pinks. They're still fairly small so you can separate them if you want to spread them out. thanks, Andrea
