Re: Eupatorium rugosum "Chocolate" Update

Hi Janice,
    I have the Eupatorium in a couple of places. In the nursery and in a open
shade planting in a raised bed. My partner liked this one so she has it in full
sun in one of her raised beds as well. All have faded a bit from the dark color as
blooms come on. The stems remain chocolate and the leaves are much darker than the
species. Still a great plant.
    Once the plant has a chance to settle in good and get those roots out there
for support and nutrients you will get the height.
    Glad to hear all is well for you and the plant.  Good gardening to you,  Gene
