Eupatorium perfoliatum / Boneset

Boneset is a flat-topped wildflower of moist meadows and lightly shaded areas. Its charms fall primarily in two categories: it is a superlative pollinator plant – providing a stage to observe a zoo of beneficial insect activity, and it is used as a remedy for flu symptoms.

Highly recommended for permaculture applications and for pollinator strips along farm fields.
