Ageratina altissima
Common name: White Snakeroot
This shade-loving plant is a great choice for an herbaceous addition to the understory. Its flowers are wispy white bunches. Blooming occurs in late summer to fall and lasts 2 months in the right conditions. A great source of attraction for bees, butterflies and moths late in the season.
