Eupatorium General Information

Eupatorium are great perennials to add stature to the back of the border without ever needing to be staked. An excellent performer that will tolerate a moist site. Lots of late summer color attractive to butterflies. Eupatorium has recently been reclassified to Eutrochium.

Eupatorium Plant Care

Best in a consistently moist site. If height control is desired, pinch plants in early June when they are about 3' tall. This will cause additional branching to emerge from one pinched stem which creates bushier plants with just slightly smaller 5" diameter flowers. Benefits from division every 4-5 years in spring or fall. Slow to emerge in spring. Stems and seedheads are attractive in early winter.
