Eupatorium purpureum
Tall erect herbaceous perennial to 1.5m, also known as Queen of the Meadow and Gravel Root. Large domed clusters of nectar and pollen-rich purple flowers from mid summer to mid autumn, which attract bees, butterflies and moths. Great for the back of a border in a naturalistic setting, and goes well with echinacea and rudbeckia.
The plant was used medicinally by native American Indians and was quickly adopted by the white settlers. The whole plant, but especially the root, is astringent, diuretic, nervine and tonic. It is used as a diaphoretic to induce perspiration and break a fever, and for its benefits to the kidney and urinary tract.
Plant in sun or part shade, suitable for most soil types including dry soil.
9cm pot. Certified organic plant.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
Kahikatea Farm cannot take any responsibility for any adverse effects from the use of the plants or a plant not having the effect it is reputed to have.
