Notes
'Red Bouquet' flossflower (Ageratum houstonianum 'Red Bouquet') is an annual for borders, containers, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant is drought tolerant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Plants reach 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Snapdragon, Purple top, Silver feather grass, and Prairie Sun rudbeckia.
