Boneset | Eupatorium perfoliatum
Boneset is a tall, graceful native perennial that thrives in moist meadows, woodland edges, and stream banks—making it a stunning choice for wildflower gardens, rain gardens, and pollinator patches. Its soft white flower clusters bloom in late summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
Long appreciated in folk traditions, Boneset has been valued for generations in seasonal wellness rituals and herbal gardens. Today, it's often included in tea blends and foraged collections intended to support overall balance and resilience. With its deep roots and hardy nature, it also helps stabilize soil and provides shelter for wildlife.
