White flowers are my jam, so I am especially taken with Ivory Towers Joe Pye Weed. I have plenty of natives for pollinators, but the muddy mauve color doesn't appeal to my personal human sensibilities. Also, my local population looms over me, so I am always looking up into it. I can stand eyeball to compound inflorescence with this one and enjoy the plant and its visitors without a ladder.
Commercial seeds germinated readily, blooming in July from a March 3 sowing planted out in mid-April.
