EUPATORIUM
PR6226 HARDY AGERATUM SEEDS
Eupatorium coelestinum
These 2-3 foot tall perennials produce bright blue-violet flower heads (of up to 70 ½ inch blooms) in summer and fall that look nearly identical to the annual ageratum. Butterflies love them and they are excellent cut flowers. Spreads readily by rhizomes, so be sure to plant it where it can either be controlled or allowed to spread in a naturalized setting. Hardy ageratum looks especially nice when grown with ornamental grasses, Obedience Plants, Stokesias, Russian Sage or some of the taller asters. Winter hardy to zone 6. Packet is 100 seeds.
PR921 JOE-PYE WEED SEEDS
Eupatorium maculatum atropurpureum "Glow"
This North Eastern U.S. native grows 5-7 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide and produces enormous 18 inch heads
of wine-red fragrant flowers in summer and early fall. They are loved by butterflies and are excellent
for fresh cut or dried arrangements. The crushed leaves carry a vanilla fragrance and are arranged in
whorls along purplish stems. Likes full sun and moist soil. This is a magnificent plant that will likely
be the highlight of your garden for years to come. Winter hardy to zone 3. Seeds may require pre-chilling,
instructions included. Packet is 100 seeds.
