White Snakeroot (Ageratina altissima)
Native perennial. No, this isn't a hair band from the 80's. Yes this is a wonderfully tough plant for shady-part shade areas. We were very taken with the delicate white flower clusters that bloomed last fall on our first year plants. Wild Seed Project says: " A prolific self-sower; cut back after bloom in a small garden. This is an excellent species to plant after invasive species have been removed in a woodland." Also, please be aware that this plant carries a toxin for mammals, so it is best not to plant it in a grazing pasture. Partial Sun-Shade, Medium wet-Medium Dry soil, Height: 2', Blooms: mid summer-fall
*** Most of the new native perennials will say "We have run out of stock for this item or it is out of season" for now, so we don't overpromise. If you would like to purchase one of our native varieties that says this, we urge you to click the "Notify Me when Available" button to get a notification emailed to you when we know we have some available for purchase.
This is because native plants have different growth habits than the other plants we start under grow lights. In fact, most of them need a long cold period in the soil before germinating in the spring or summer, or even a year after being sown. Therefore, it is a bit more challenging to predict when and how many will be ready for pick up in the spring.
