Description

Common Boneset or Eupatorium perfoliatum is a late-summer standout, boasting large flat-topped flower clusters that bloom well into fall, followed by seed heads to provide winter interest. The small white florets are highly attractive to pollinators, especially native bees and butterflies. Unique, paired leaves are fused at the base and look like they wrap the stems. This adaptable and deer-resistant native perennial thrives in woodland settings and wet soils. Plant it alongside other moisture-loving species like Cardinal Flower, Blue Flag Iris, and Rose Mallow in full sun to partial shade. After flowering, the dried seed heads remain intact, providing interest in the winter months. These are often collected for dried flower arrangements.

The dried leaves have reportedly been used to make a tonic, boneset tea, thought effective in treating colds, coughs, and constipation.
