Late Boneset
Eupatorium serotinum
Late Boneset features coarse, hairy leaves and a stiff, upright habit that can reach heights of around 5 feet. Its showy, flat-topped clusters of white flowers appear from late summer into fall, attracting a flurry of pollinator activity. This plant is ideal for naturalized areas, meadow gardens, and as a background plant in borders, where its late-season blooms provide essential support to local wildlife. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil, Late Boneset is also noted for its adaptability to various environmental conditions.
