Late Boneset (Eupatorium serotinum)

Late Boneset is hardy perennial plant native to eastern North American prairies. It likes to grow in moist prairies, along the edges of streams, swales, and other wet areas.
The flowers occur in groups and lack ray flowers.

It is a very attractive plant when in large groups. Truly beautiful in the morning sun.

The flowers are characterized by small and white with a long style protruding from them.

The height of the plant is determined by its moisture level.

It is a plant that is very showy when it is in large groups and creates a magnificent display.

This plant is very important to many insects such as bees, butterflies, wasps, flies, moths, beetles, and others.

This eupatorium can be distinguished from the other white flowering eupatoriums by its very serrated leaves.
