| Can anyone tell me when I should see signs of life from this plant? I planted 2 of them last fall and so far nothing sprouting...Thanks |

| I *just* started seeing the first bit of emergence from my chocolate eupatorium this week. Mine are several years old, so they may be ahead of yours because they're more established. Don't give up yet! |

| I'm in zone 5 Central Illinois and mine are a good 18 inches (maybe a bit taller) up now. Don't give up yet, but they should be showing signs of life soon if they survived. Watch for them, they will come up at first very dark and you'll barely notice them in the dirt. |

Mine have been up at least 6 weeks.

| Here in my zone 4 garden my two chocolate Joe Pyes have just begun to emerge (one is 2 inches the other 5). They seem bo be the last plants to pop up. My Gateway has been up for a good month and is 2 ft tall and looking good. Sandy |

| Mine in southern ontario are a good foot high and nice and bushy. The new one I planted in august last year didnt come back at all. |

| how tall do your chocolates grow, i just bought one this year and the tag said up to 5ft, is this true or will it get bigger or smaller? |

| I have one Eupatorium rugosum Chocolate and I love it! The foliage is beautiful, and it is like a cloud of hazy white flowers in the early fall when it blooms. Also, it is an excellent late season source of nectar and pollen that attracts butterflies and all kinds of pollinators. Mine is currently about 18" tall and it reaches about 3 - 4 feet tall by the time it blooms. A couple pics from last year:

| In my land of late springs (mine are only about six inches tall right now), my chocolates grow to maybe four feet tall and three feet wide by autumn. But besides late springs we can have early frosts up here, which'll take 'em out prematurely. In a warmer climate, I've no doubt they'd reach five feet. |

| wow, it is beautiful! can't wait until mine matures. its in a bad spot right now, but i'm going to move it to where it will get more sun and will be placed next to my artemesia wormwood, where the silvery grey foliage will really make it look nice next to its darker foliage. |
