Eupatorium sordidum

Thoroughwort, Eupatorium ianthinum, Bartlettina sordida

Blooming in late summer and early fall, this large group of perennials, herbs, and shrubs provides color when other plants have stopped flowering. Several species are cold-hardy wildflowers native to the eastern United States. These have whorled leaves and showy, small flowers in clusters. Start by seed or division. Pinch back during the growing season to encourage fuller growth and more flowers.

The fragrant, violet-purple flowers bloom in flattened 4-inch-wide clusters. New stems are covered with dense red hairs.
