Blue Mist Eupatorium commonly called Mistflower, is a favorite for butterfly gardens! This plant provides colorful, mid-to late season, nectar-filled flowers that butterflies and bees find irresistible, and the seed heads that follow provides food for the wild birds. Mistflowers produce their best blooms when the soil is moist; however, they are tolerate drought once established. Conoclinium greggii offers a more controlled growth over the aggressive Eupatorium coelestinum. This is a perennial in southern gardens but should be grown as an annual in northern garden. This is a must have for the fall garden.
Companion Planting: Aster, Echinacea, Grasses, Hydrangea, Rudbeckia, Sedum
