Ageratina ligustrina--Eupatorium-Asteraceae




Several honey bees were enjoying the flowers of this plant while I was snapping pictures at the UC Botanical Garden. Butterflies also like the white bunches of flowers. This shrub grows about 6-8' tall and flowers in late summer.

  1. If you recall, I'd love to know what species of butterflies come to it. If you have an opinion of its relative value as a butterfly nectar plant -- 'fair' 'good' or 'excellent' -- whatever -- please let me know.
