Wild Quinine
Parthenium integrifolium
Wild Quinine is valued for its sturdy nature and unique floral displays. From mid to late summer, it produces dense clusters of small, white flowers that resemble buttons, held aloft on strong, upright stems. This plant reaches up to 3 feet in height and spreads to form substantial clumps with broad, rough-textured leaves. Thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil conditions, making it a versatile choice for borders, meadows, and pollinator gardens.
