Synonym names: Eupatorium jucundum Greene
Is a perennial (Hall 1993). Is common in all of Florida; flowers from fall to winter (Hall 1993).

Habitat
Sand pine scrub, longleafpine-turkey oak sand ridges, pine-palmetto, live-oak woods, hammocks, dunes, roadsides, old fields, stream banks, dry flatwoods.[2] It is xeric to dry-mesic habitats, including sand pine scrub, longleaf pine-turkey oak. It can also occur along roadsides, in abandoned fields where such habitats used to occur. Ageratina jucunda becomes threatened by habitat loss and fire suppression.[1]. Is found in sandhills and hammocks (Wunderlin and Hansen 2003).
