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

    Basic everyday napkins but very thin
    These are about as basic as paper napkins get. They work fine for everyday meals and quick cleanup, but they are definitely on the thinner side. You usually end up needing more than one for messier foods or larger spills because they don’t feel especially absorbent or heavy-duty. That said, the large count is convenient for everyday household use, cookouts, lunch packing, or casual gatherings where you go through napkins quickly. Overall they’re functional budget napkins, just nothing particularly thick or special.

    Bake and Take - Excellent for Large (or small) Gatherings!
    Size: 25 Pack w/ Lids
    I ordered these 9 x 13 foil pans specifically for a trek to Mom's on Mother's Day. I chose them because they included the covers, are disposable, reusable and the best way to transport a warm meal to a family gathering. I have 8 siblings. I made pans of enchiladas for each family unit. Particularly in this current health situation - even among family members, the separate portions minimizes contact with others' food. Each pan was perfect for 18 chicken/cheese enchiladas. I made 10 pans for the entire family. I also ordered smaller pans (8.4 x 5.9) from this seller so each sibling could take some enchiladas home. The lids sealed perfectly; the pans were sturdy. I also used the small pans to make croissant crème brûlée custard - each person enjoyed their own portion of dessert – they all ate right from the pan – how convenient is that? I could not be happier with this amazingly convenient way to 'bake and take' - and NO WASHING PANS! I rolled into the gathering like a caterer - my family was really impressed. I intend to bake and take - AND bake and stay (again, NO WASHING PANS!) I made a large salad to consume during the week. I made it in the large pan and popped it in the fridge, easy peasy. I plan to use these pans for bar-b-ques. They’re great for marinating before grilling, taking the meat off the grill and placing into the pans AND, they are the ‘serving platters’. I highly recommend these pans (and the seller – I received them wicked fast!)
