2gardenkate, I had two plants...one was bought in 2009 from SHOOTING STAR NURSERY and the other was bought in 2010 from SWEET NECTAR. Both of these were the typical "blue" mistflower that is as you see it in the above photo. In addition, I bought one with the scientific name of Eupatorium havanense which has two common names-FRAGRANT MISTFLOWER or SHRUBBY BONESET. It is an attractive white version of the mistflower. In this, it's first year, it bloomed too late...my butterflies were gone. As the folks at Plant Delights say, this does make a nice cutflower for the house! Maybe this year, the blooms and butterflies will get a little better co-ordinated.

I have attached a photo of the Fragrant mistflower.
