Round leaved Thoroughwort
Eupatorium rotundifolium var. ovatum

Round-leaved thoroughwort provides a flat white haze in the late summer meadow. At three feet tall it holds its own but doesn't get pushy. It has a stiff upright posture and doesn't flop over. Blooming from late summer into early fall it produces plenty of nectar for late season butterflies and bees. This plant tolerates poor dry soil and mixes well with upland ironweed, asters and goldenrods.

Coreopsis tripteris


Tall coreopsis, Coreopsis tripteris, is a prairie remnant species found growing in the scour zone of the Susquehanna River along the York County line. Five to seven feet tall, this slender, open plant is a graceful accent in any garden.

Blooming from July into August, these three-inch flowers are showy and yet not gaudy. This species grows well in a wide variety of soil, from rich to poor, moist to dry. The plant slowly increases as a clump and is not thuggish. It does well in poor soil, as it doesn't compete well in a thickly planted setting. Pinch the leaves and enjoy the anise scent. Finches will enjoy the seed in the fall.

Companion plants: Vernonia glauca, Lilium superbum, Eupatorium rotundifolium var. ovatum, Lactuca floridiana, Baptisia tinctoria, Euphorbia collorata.
