Boneset - Live Plant Frequently Asked Questions

Is Boneset an annual or perennial plant?

Boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) is a perennial plant that can live for multiple years, unlike annual plants that complete their life cycle in one growing season and then die. As a perennial, Boneset will die back to the ground in the fall or winter and then regrow from the roots in the spring. It can survive for many years in the right environment.

How much space should be needed to grow a Boneset?

When planting a Boneset, it is important to consider its mature size and give it enough space to grow and spread out. Boneset is a tall and spreading plant that can grow up to 5 feet in height and spread up to 3 feet in width. You should space it at least 2-3 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and to prevent overcrowding.

What zone does the Boneset grow in?

Boneset is a hardy plant that can grow in USDA growing zones 3 to 9. However, it does prefer cold temperatures and will thrive in areas with mild summers and cold winters.

When should I harvest Boneset?

Boneset plants should be harvested when the plant is in full bloom, preferably in late summer or early fall. You can cut the stems just above the ground using a pair of scissors and be sure to harvest only the top third of the plant, leaving at least two-third at the bottom to allow the plant to grow and replenish further.

Does Boneset flower or fruit?

The Boneset plant produces small white flowers in late summer or early fall. Once pollinated, they dry up and eventually fall off. It does not produce any fruit but will continue to produce fresh foliage throughout its growing season.
