Notes
'Midget Blue' ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum 'Midget Blue') is an annual for containers, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms from early to late summer and again from early to late autumn. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It also tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Supertunia Vista Bubblegum petunia, Pacific Beauty calendula, and Red fescue.
