Ageratum: Ball Mixed - A Soft Cloud of Color

Like little bursts of pastel confetti, Ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum) in the Ball Mixed variety creates a soft, inviting cloud of color that brightens any garden. Known for its fluffy, button-like blooms in shades of blue, pink, and white, Ageratum stands tall and vibrant, reaching about 12–18 inches in height, making it the perfect border or container plant to infuse your garden with gentle hues.

Native to Central America, Ageratum’s charming petals have earned it the nickname "Flossflower" for their cotton-like appearance. This annual is a magnet for pollinators, particularly butterflies, and thrives in sunny spots with well-drained soil, where it will bloom continuously throughout the summer and into fall.

Ageratum is a fantastic cut flower, perfect for adding a touch of softness to bouquets or filling in gaps in floral arrangements. Its low-maintenance nature and cheerful presence make it a wonderful addition to any garden, whether planted in mass for a soft sea of color or scattered through beds as a delightful surprise.
