flossflower, ageratum

This is a classic annual plant that produces long lasting clusters of fuzzy flowers in shades of blue, purple and white over dusty green foliage. Excellent in sunny borders and edges. Grow as “filler” accents in containers.

Plant in well-drained, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water once a week throughout the growing season. Deadhead as needed. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Plant-tone®. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
