  • Question

    I was at Garden in the Woods recently and keyed out a plant to be Blue Mistflower Conoclinum coelestrinium or Eupatorium coelesrinium. I cannot find on Go botany or Wildflowers of New England?

    Answer

    Dear swampthing, Conoclinium coelestinum is not yet known to be a member of the wild flora of New England. While found over a large area in the eastern and southeastern US, it has not been collected outside of cultivation in our region--this is the reason why you do not find it on Go Botany. Best wishes.
