Planting and Growing Information
Plant Eupatorium 'Gateway' in full sun to partial shade locations in USDA hardiness zones 4-8. While adaptable to average garden soil, it thrives in moist, fertile conditions, making it perfect for rain gardens or areas with consistent moisture. For more compact growth, cut back by half in early summer. Flowering begins in mid-summer and continues through early fall, providing weeks of color when many other perennials have finished blooming. Divide every 4-5 years to maintain vigor.
