Last August I planted a Chocolate White Snakeroot (Eupatorium rugosum 'Chocolate' (Ageratina altissima) in the border along the Stroll Garden.
I waited all year to see it bloom. Now that we are in mid October, fall is upon us, and the blooms are looking fantastic.
The plant is doing a good job of filling in the space just beneath the Crabapple tree, but also looks great with the changing colors of the nearby Spirea.
I was surprised at how late the blooms arrived. More surprising was that there were still bees around to take advantage of the flowing.
Overall, I am please with this plant. It really adds some fall interest to the garden.
