Description
A long-time favorite in our gardens and one the butterflies and pollinators will thank you for planting, Hardy Ageratum, also called Blue Mistflower, is a beautiful and very easy-to-grow North American native perennial plant that will provide long-lasting late-season color in the garden. Abundant clusters of bright violet-blue fuzzy flowers atop every stem glow in our north-central Georgia gardens from September until the first frost in late October or early November. The flowers are perfect for cutting and use in indoor flower arrangements. The plant spreads to form a colony, so it is excellent for naturalizing along sunny to partially shaded woodland borders, in wildflower gardens, or on the periphery of a stream or pond.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 3 to 3.5 feet tall and spreading 2 feet or more, Hardy Ageratum is excellent for naturalizing along sunny to partially shaded woodland borders, in wildflower gardens, or on the periphery of a stream or pond.
Suggested Spacing: 24 to 36 inches apart
Growing Preferences
Hardy Ageratum is very easy to grow in most any average, medium to wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. It prefers consistently moist, fertile, humusy soils. Plants spread rhizomes and self-seeding to form colonies. Taller plants may be cut back in mid-summer to control height.
Plant Long & Prosper!
