The plant has one simple erect stem, which is green with purple dots or longitudinal dashes and can grow over six feet tall. The upper stems are reddish or purplish. Hollow Joe Pye Weed can tolerate many soil types. The flowers are visited by honeybees, bumblebees, and other long-tongued bees. Butterflies, skippers, moths also visit the flowers.

It is a larval host to the Clymene moth, eupatorium borer moth, ruby tiger moth, and the three-lined flower moth.
