About this cultivar:

Ageratina altissima 'Chocolate' is a mid-height perennial that has fluffly white flowers versus mature dark foliage, perfect for adding contrast to the garden. The dark leaves show their best colour in full sun, but adequate moisture is needed to keep the leaves from scorching. In fact, ‘Chocolate’ thrives in moist soil and partial shade!

Introduced by Mt. Cuba Center of the USA in 1994 this cultivar was selected by Dr. Richard Lighty and descended from a plant found in the early 1970s by Hal Bruce. ‘Chocolate’ was found to have the darkest foliage of many seedlings grown over a ten year period. The s pecific epithet ‘altissima’ means tall or highest (not tall tho!). Great cut flower! Try growing hot colours in front of the dark foliage.

    About this genus:

    Ageratina is a genus of more than 330 perennials and rounded shrubs commonly called snake root. The genus name Ageratina means "like Ageratum" which in turn comes from from the Greek agēraton ‘that which does not age’. It is one of the many members of the daisy family, Asteraceae.

    These plants grow mainly in the warmer and cooler areas of the Americas. Native Americans reportedly used a decoction of the roots as a remedy for snakebite, hence the common name. Settlers who drank milk from cows that fed on this plant often developed the disease called milk sickness! Don’t let your cows eat it then!

    The flowers consist of multiple fluffy, red or pinkish-white florets in clusters. They have multiple, much-branched woody stems. The leaves are triangular, serrated, and opposite with a musky scent (which some people don’t like!).

    Ageratina used to belong to the genus Eupatorium, but it has been reclassified recently by the powers that be (DNA testing). Thus when we are talking about Ageratina in the garden we might as well be talking about Eupatorium. What does that mean? Good in wet, shady areas, but will tolerate full sun and some dryness. Tough! Deciduous but often provides nice winter structure. For more chat, lookup Eupatorium!

    Great with other late flowering perennials such as Echinacea, Rudbeckia, Helenium, Helianthus, Ornamental grasses, Veronicastrum, Roses, Larger Persicaria

    Dress shirt
    Size: XX-Large Big Tall, Color: Powder Blue
    The material is a nice quality and the color is very close to the picture but I think it’s a bit darker in person. It definitely doesn’t fit like a “tall” should though but I think if we would have sized up it would have been to big. Overall it was an ok purchase for what we needed it for but it is a bit short.

    Fit check = great
    Size: X-Large, Color: Light Grey Vertical Stripe
    Happy to finally find a great shirt fit for both business and casual looks. This shirt line is made in Sri Lanka (not Bangladesh). It has a great fit around the shoulders and chest for a 40 year old American male. It fits true to form and was recommended to me directly by Grok AI based on my exact waist, chest and neck measurements. It doesn't pull tight across the chest, and fits really nice with a sport coat. It's comfortable and breathable, the fabric is thick and high quality. You can wear this tucked or untucked depending on the attire you need. I bought 2 and will definitely buy the rest of the color line up. I'd love to see more colors and patterns available in this fit.

    Great for the summer
    I bought this shirt because I needed something stylish and affordable for the summer, and it was exactly what I was looking for. The fit was perfect for me, the material is breathable, and the design of this button-down is great for casual and slightly dressier occasions. Overall, it’s a fantastic shirt that combines style, comfort, and value.
