White Mistflower - Ageratina havanensis

In this episode, Tim Wardell, Texas Certified Nursery Professional and Marketing Manager at Shades of Green Nursery + Landscape, discusses White Mistflower (Ageratina havanensis), a great native Texas perennial.
White Mistflower - Ageratina havanensis / Eupatorium havanense
• Native Texas herbaceous perennial / deciduous shrub
• 2-3 feet tall x 3-4 feet wide
• Plant in full sun to part shade
• Fragrant, fuzzy white flowers from late summer to fall attract butterflies
• Very heat & drought tolerant
• Hardy in Zone 8-10
• Also called Havana Snakeroot, Shrubby Boneset, & Fragrant Mist Flower
* Fragrant Mistflower (Chromolaena odorata) is a different plant. See www.wildflower.... However, many sources, including some of those listed below, call White Mistflower (Ageratina havanensis) by the name Fragrant Mistflower and/or Fragrant White Mistflower. This is why we use Latin in horticulture. Plants can have dozens of common names. Latin increases the likelihood that we're talking about the same plant.
