Hello, I ordered this young plant in November 2020 and so far nothing is happening, the stems are soft. However, we've had spring-like days of 18° (64.4°F). Is it normal for the stems?

Description
Eupatorium 'Lucky Melody' is a new hybrid variety that stands out with its compact habit and white flowering. This lovely perennial plant forms a beautiful clump of dark green leafy stems. From late summer to early autumn, it is adorned with large fluffy bouquets composed of tiny white and fuzzy flowers that are popular with bees and butterflies. It is accustomed to cool and humid areas, and thrives in pond borders. Its fuzzy and airy appearance gives the garden a wild touch, and its flowers last a long time in a vase.
Eupatorium 'Lucky Melody' ('Allmelody') is an herbaceous perennial of the Asteraceae family. It is derived, among others, from Eupatorium rugosum, a superb botanical species native to North America. It is extremely hardy, and has adapted to cool and moist soils. This plant, also known as rough eupatorium, is now renamed Ageratina altissima.
'Lucky Melody' often takes 1 to 2 years to establish. It develops into a dense clump of upright and sturdy stems, reaching about 50cm (20in) in all directions. The stems bear leaves that are 5 to 12cm (2 to 5in) long and 3 to 7cm (1 to 3in) wide. They are generally triangular with toothed edges, and are arranged in an opposite manner. Their colour is a very dark green. The stems rise up until late summer, usually in August, when flowering begins. These are hundreds of small fluffy heads that cluster together in generous corymbs or terminal bouquets that can reach 15cm (6in) in diameter. This flowering is nectar-rich and attracts many pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies. Somewhat late, it is valuable for enhancing a garden in August and September. After pollination, the flowers produce numerous small seeds with bristles that will be dispersed by the wind. Lightweight and decorative, they add charm to the dry inflorescences in winter. All the above-ground vegetation of the plant is deciduous in winter. The stems of the eupatorium reappear quite late in spring.
Eupatorium rugosum 'Lucky Melody' is content with any soil that remains moist and a sunny to semi-shady position. It finds its place on the shores of water sources, and also in wildflower beds or on the edge of groves, in heavy and moist soil. For example, it can be planted with bugbanes, meadow-rues, and goatsbeards, which are all beautiful and equally robust and hardy perennials that appreciate the same environments. It is gorgeous in a wild garden accompanied by its taller relative Eupatorium cannabinum 'Plenum' with double flowers.

Planting and care
In their natural state, they develop on moist or even humid ground, whether they are limestone or not, in humus-bearing and light or clayey and heavy soil. They need a certain degree of soil humidity. Choose a sunny or semi-shaded exposure. They are hardy and robust plants that have few enemies.
'Lucky Melody' is sometimes a little slow to develop. It emerges from the ground quite late in spring. Prune the dry stems in spring, when vegetation restarts.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
