Boneset

Eupatorium perfoliatum

Certified Organic

White umbel-like flowers with medicinal properties.

This North American native has traditionally been used medicinally in many ways. It grows in upright clumps with fuzzy, umbel-like clusters of white flowers. The stem appears to be growing through the center of the long, tapered leaves, hence the Latin name Eupatorium perfoliatum. This suggested to herbalists of the past that the plant would be useful in setting bones, so its leaves were wrapped with bandages around splints. However, it was mainly used as a sweat-inducer and fever-breaker. Dried leaves and flowers can be made into a tea or tincture to treat colds.

Cold Stratification Required - See Growing Instructions for details.

Requires cold stratification: Surface sow and press lightly into the soil in early fall for overwintering. If sowing in spring, start indoors about 3 weeks before last frost by mixing seeds with a moistened starting medium in sealed plastic bag and refrigerating for 30 days. Check periodically for moisture. Sow seeds either in a greenhouse or warm indoor location, or direct sow outdoors after stratification. Keep moist until seedlings are well established.

    I followed the instructions to the T and 0 germination. It has been close to a month now since I planted these seeds in the seed tray. This is the first time I have not had any seeds germinate from HVSC. So sad, I was really looking forward to growing boneset.

    Hello Marie,

    Thank you for placing an order with us! We are so sorry to hear that you had difficulty with germinating the Boneset seeds. We do test the seed's germination rate 2-3 times a year, but they can definitely have a trajectory of their own. We will be reaching out to you directly to remedy this. Thanks!
