I have Eupatorium rugosum in my woodland garden, but I thought the leaves looked different from this. Maybe there’s something else growing amongst it in the photo here which is confusing me, sending me off-track. Personally I like it and love that it has naturalized in an area of my garden where few other natives have. I’ve had it in my garden for 8 years, but this is the first year it really came up other than where I planted it. The wild oats on the other hand… spread their wild oats. They had to go because they were taking over.

The flowers do not look like the Boneset that grows in my local area! (central MA)…but they do look similar to Eupatorium rugosum! That’s my guess

Alison,
The one is this photo got morning sun only. However there are some in the neighbor’s yard and my backyard that got full sun, as well as some that were in shady spots.

I know that helps very little, sorry…..

Beautiful photo Carole! I love the contrast of the rusting iron with the white and green. It certainly looks very much like Boneset but cannot be sure. I do want to thank you so for your kind supportive comment! I am very honored. Carol .-= Carol Flower Hill´s last post ..Dawn Following Setting Moon Red-tailed Hawk Turns the Pages of Day =-.
