Very beautiful young plant, packaging was very good. The plant was very well cared for and did not suffer during its journey. Repotted in a larger pot as the roots were coming out of the drainage holes. Kind regards.

Description
Eupatorium 'Elegant Plume' is derived from Eupatorium capillifolium, a curious North American perennial species that owes its species name, capillifolium, to the resemblance of its thread-like leaves to hair (in Latin, capilla). Growing to human height, this variety is composed of stems adorned with soft green feathery foliage, ending in light panicles of inconspicuous flowers in summer. This plant, with its airy and infinitely delicate appearance, will find its place in shrub or perennial beds, adding a touch of lightness. Its blurred yet wild aspect gives a slightly wild air to the garden.
Eupatorium capillifolium is a large herbaceous perennial of the Asteraceae family, native to the eastern and southern parts of the United States. Unlike other Eupatorium species, this one is not limited to marshy or permanently wet areas, and it tolerates periods of drought if it has a deep soil. It is found in the wild along roadsides, in lightly ploughed fields, fallow lands, as well as in disturbed habitats or areas recently burned by fires.
Eupatorium 'Elegant Plume' is a sterile horticultural hybrid that does not produce seeds and is not at risk of becoming invasive. This plant forms a large clump of leafy stems that can reach a height of 1.80 m (6ft) under favourable conditions. It spreads weakly in width through its rhizomatous stump, occupying no more than 60cm (24in) of soil. The stems, covered with short hairs, are branched, vertical, hollow but sturdy, and bear finely cut leaves that appear thread-like. This aromatic vegetation, containing essential oils, emits an unpleasant odour when crushed. Flowering occurs in late summer, usually from August, and continues into September. At the tips of the green stems, branched panicle inflorescences emerge, somewhat loose, carrying numerous tiny cream-pink to uncertain greenish flowers arranged in heads. The deciduous foliage dries up and disappears in winter.
EupatoriumElegant Plume , a delightful curiosity for botany enthusiasts, is an easy-to-grow plant that withstands cold, temporary droughts, insects, and diseases. For the garden, it plays the same role as fennels, lightening the blooms or foliage of more robust perennials. For example, it can be planted next to perennial sunflowers, beautiful grasses (Panicum, Miscanthus...), autumn asters, salvias, Perovskia, dwarf abelias, and many others.

Planting and care
In its natural state, this Eupatorium capillifolium grows in well-drained, deep, occasionally dry soils in summer. In the garden, it should be planted in a sunny or semi-shaded position. Avoid excessively calcareous soils. Water sporadically if the summer is very dry. Adding compost in spring is beneficial. It is a hardy plant, resistant to diseases, and requires very little maintenance once established.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
