Blue Mink Ageratum
Blue Mink Ageratum is a charming annual flower known for its fluffy clusters of small, powder-blue blooms. With its delicate appearance and compact growth habit, it adds a touch of whimsy and color to any garden or landscape. The foliage is soft and green, providing a lovely backdrop to the profusion of blue flowers.
Growing Instructions:
-
Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Sow seeds in well-draining seed starting mix, barely covering them with soil.
-
Light: Provide ample light for seedlings. Once germinated, Ageratum requires full sun to partial shade for optimal growth.
-
Temperature: Ageratum prefers warm temperatures. Maintain a temperature of 21-24°C (70-75°F ) for germination and seedling growth.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
-
Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed up. Space plants 6-8 inches apart in well-draining soil.
-
Fertilization: Feed plants with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.
-
Maintenance: Pinch back Ageratum plants regularly to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous flowering.
-
Harvesting: Enjoy Ageratum flowers in the garden or cut them for fresh or dried arrangements. Cut stems just as the blooms begin to open for longest vase life.
Additional Tips:
- Blue Mink Ageratum attracts butterflies and other pollinators to the garden.
- Consider planting Ageratum in containers or hanging baskets for a splash of color on patios and balconies.
- To prolong flowering, deadhead spent blooms regularly and remove any faded or yellowing foliage.
- Packet contains about 100+/- seeds.
