Eupatorium perfoliatum Seeds (Common Boneset)
Eupatorium perfoliatum, commonly known as “Boneset,” is a North American native perennial herb with distinctive features. It bears dense clusters of fluffy, white, button-like flowers atop stems that appear to pierce through its perfoliate leaves. Typically found in USDA hardiness zones 3-8, it thrives in damp, well-drained soil and partial to full sun. Mature plants reach heights of 3-5 feet, creating a striking vertical presence. Eupatorium perfoliatum seeds are available for propagation, and the plant has historical medicinal use. Its appealing, late-summer blossoms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies while providing a unique, architectural addition to wetland gardens.
