Introducing Eupatorium purpureum, a stunning and important native plant that is sure to make a statement in any garden or landscape.
 
This tall purple flowering plant is not only beautiful to look at, but it also plays a crucial role in supporting biodiversity in your area. Many species of butterflies, moths, bees, and flies visit the flowers, making it an important source of nectar and pollen for these valuable pollinators.
 
Eupatorium purpureum is also a larval host to several species of moths, including the eupatorium borer moth (Carmenta bassiformis), the red groundling moth (Perigea xanthioides), the ruby tiger moth (Phragmatobia fuliginosa), and the three-lined flower moth (Schinia trifascia). By providing a habitat for these important species, you can help support their conservation and ensure that they continue to thrive in your area.
