EUPATORIUM perfoliatum (Boneset) is a perennial herbaceous plant native to North America. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and is known for its medicinal properties and historical use in traditional medicine.

Boneset typically grows to a height of 3 to 6 feet (0.9 to 1.8 meters). It has erect stems with opposite leaves that appear to be joined at the base, giving the impression of the stem piercing through the leaf. The leaves are lance-shaped and have toothed edges. The plant produces clusters of small, white flowers that form a flat-topped inflorescence.

Boneset is commonly found in wetland areas, such as swamps, marshes, and damp meadows. It prefers moist and fertile soils but can tolerate a range of soil conditions. It grows best in full to partial sun.

While primarily valued for its medicinal properties, Boneset can also be cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens that have moist or wet soil conditions. Its tall and showy flower clusters can add interest to wetland gardens or naturalistic landscapes. However, due to its aggressive growth habit, it may require some containment to prevent it from spreading beyond desired areas.
