Instead of cutting old stems to the ground, consider leaving them at about knee height to serve this important purpose. Because of the life cycles of various insects, you want to leave them permanently intact. Don't cut them back in the spring, but have confidence that the flush of strong new growth from the plant will quickly over-take and conceal this lower framework, which then can continue to offer the opportunity for shelter and an insect nursery!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e grown on from seedlings provided by Marpa Farm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wikimedia Commons\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52713681223987,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/512px-Eutrochium_fistulosum__Robin_Hill_Park__2024-08-01-3.jpg?v=1764768202","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/eutrochium-fistulosum-hollow-joe-pye-weed","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
