Eupatorium perfoliatum (Boneset) MG CC

Harvest aerial parts of the plant in bloom to release heat during flu and fevers. Helps with associated body aches too. Pretty easy in the garden with full sun, supplemental watering starting in July, though with our clay soils it does okay during the dry months. It likes rich soil though, so start them out with a good mix of compost. Grows 2-3 ft in height, flowers in July. Great pollinator plant.
