Eupatorium General Information

Eupatorium are excellent performers that will tolerate a moist site. Lots of late summer color attractive to butterflies. This compact perennial wildflower is indigenous to moist open woods and banks of rivers or creeks. Spreads by rhizomes for a good soil stabilizer. Eupatorium has recently been reclassified as Eutrochium. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Eupatorium Plant Care

Best in a consistently moist site. Benefits from division every 4-5 years in spring or fall. Slow to emerge in spring. Stems and seedheads are attractive in early winter.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% unconditional guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
