Ageratum (Ageratum Mexicanum Pink) - Hundreds of showy cushion-like blooms are on this pink Ageratum. Grown readily from flower seeds, these annuals reach about 12 inches tall and are great for either beds or containers. Also known as Floss Flower, start these seeds and have blooms all summer, and the butterflies will love them!

Excellent cut flower

These annuals make excellent cut flowers. The more you cut, the more flowers are produced. The bloom has a long vase life and dries well. To dry, cut when bloom is tight and hang indoors out of direct light. Once dried, Ageratums are useful in wreaths and arrangements.

How to grow

How To Grow Ageratum From Seed: Start the Ageratum flower seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the end of frost season. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost. For areas with a long growing season, Ageratum seeds can be started directly outdoors in a prepared seedbed after all danger of frost has passed.

Blooms are extraordinarily long-lived, dead heading is necessary to encourage a second flowering, yet infrequent. Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun, in a sheltered site. Water freely in midsummer to prolong flowering.
