Attractive cream and green mottled foliage brightly emerges in spring and grows up to a nice upright mound by late summer. Clusters of small white flower buds cover the plant in fall and slowly open over several weeks. It's a durable plant that's easy to grow in well-drained, moderately dry soils and is pest-free. This native prairie plant is most likely a hybrid between boneset, Eupatorium altissimum and white snakeroot, Eupatorium rugosum .
