Flat-topped clusters (compound corymbs) of small, fluffy, white flowers appear above the foliage in late summer to fall. Perfoliate foliage is quite distinctive: the bases of the pairs of wrinkled, opposite, lance-shaped, medium green leaves unite to surround the hairy stems (perfoliatum meaning through the foliage). Historically, boneset was commonly included in medical herb gardens and used as a folk medicine for treatment of flus, fevers, colds and a variety of other maladies. Though some authorities claim the name boneset refers to a former use of the plant to aid the healing process for broken bones, others claim that the name is in reference to the plant's use as a diaphoretic in the treatment of an 18th century influenza called break bone fever. All parts of the plant are quite toxic and bitter. Also commonly called thoroughwort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUses\u003cbr\u003eGood size and late bloom for borders, native plant gardens, wildflower gardens, cottage gardens, woodland gardens, rain gardens, or banks of ponds or water gardens.","brand":"O'Neill Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50517314764936,"sku":"sku-39973849595982","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/Eupatorium_perfoliatum_1.jpg?v=1790092156","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/300-common-boneset-seeds-eupatorium-perfoliatum-none-gmo-medicinal-herb","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
