Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Ageratina altissima 'Chocolate' syn. Eupatorium rugosum 'Chocolate'

In the lower L you can see where I resettled this plant, back by the Triangle of Defiance. It's the twig in the foreground. It was just getting too much direct sun in the other spot by the lawn... #midwesternnative #swamptastic #eileensplantmap

Actually blooming! All previous attempts to raise this ended in disaster. All I had to do was plant it in the swamp! #swamptastic #midwesternnative

Planted in the Rhombus of Hope! The tag said it could tolerate more sun if it had constant moisture, so it's in about 3/4 sun in ground that audibly slurps when you dig in it. #midwesternnative #interestingfoliage #swamptastic
