Late Thoroughwort

Late Thoroughwort (Eupatorium serotinum). A poisonous perennial herbaceous plant that is native to eastern North America.

Many insects such as bees, wasps, flies, butterflies, skippers, moths and beetles are attracted to these flowers mostly for the nectar.

Late Thoroughwort is one of the last wildflowers to bloom in the autumn, and before we know it, autumn will be here.
