Local Ecotype
Perennial
Full to part sun
Moist to dry
3-6’ tall, clump forming
Blooms mid summer to early fall
A pollinator powerhouse! Late Boneset grows steadily taller throughout the summer and then erupts with clusters of fuzzy white flowers with a delightful fragrance. These flowers attract clouds of insects of all shapes and sizes. The timing of the bloom period from early August to September makes this a great nectar plant for Monarch way stations. The blooms are followed by small windblown seeds, which may be eaten by some songbirds. Late Boneset is a perennial that grows best in full to part sun. It is a hardy plant that adapts well to nearly any soil type and moisture regime. It grows between 3-7 feet depending on site conditions.
