Eupatorium maculatum
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Asteraceae
Plant Description: A wildflower that stands out in the landscape with its tall stature, whorls of slender leaves and clusters of mauve to pink blossoms. All these characteristics make it highly appealing to butterflies. Along with being beautiful and irresistible to pollinators, it is also great for damp areas in the landscape such as drainage spaces, along streambanks and by pond edges.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
