Notes
'Timeless Mix' ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum 'Timeless Mix') is an annual for borders, containers, 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 of most types. It blooms in red, pink, and blue, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Gardeners use it as a classic filler in harmonious colors.
Pairs well with Neon calendula, Garden balsam, and Red fescue.
