Eupatorium Richardsonii

White boneset, scientifically known as Eupatorium richardsonii, is a native North American plant that thrives in wetlands and moist woodlands. This herbaceous perennial is recognized for its striking white flowers that bloom in late summer and early fall. Its common name derives from the brittle, whitish stems that break easily, resembling bones. Found primarily in the eastern United States, it plays an important role in supporting local ecosystems. Despite its delicate appearance, white boneset is a resilient species that contributes to biodiversity and natural beauty in its habitat.
