Eupatorium coelestinum L.
Conoclinium coelestinum (L.) DC. Mist-flower, blue mistflower, blue boneset
Blue mistflower is native to North America. Identification: Plants are 18-36" (45-91 cm) in height. Leaves are roughly triangular (deltate), opposite, wrinkly, with blunt teeth (dentate or dentate-crenate), up to 3" (7.6 cm) × 2" (5 cm). Flowers appear in clusters that are almost flat-topped, and 1-3" (2.5-7.6 cm) around. The flowers are brushlike disc flowers—composed of 40-50 threadlike disc florets—that are blue or purple.[1] Flowers are ¼-⅜" (6.3-9.5 mm) in size, appearing from July to October. Technically these are composite flowers, like other members of the enormous aster family, but this species lacks ray flowers. Online References:
