If there’s one ageratum that encapsulates all our feelings about summer, Aloha Blue is it. Clusters of frosted cerulean-purple blooms call to mind crashing waves on the coast of an island in the Pacific, plus all the emotions that come along with a much-needed vacation. Growing less than a foot tall, Aloha Blue’s compact and mounding growth habit is perfect for containers, edging, or as a groundcover, and its nectar-rich blooms will make your garden the hub for pollinator activity.

    Customer photo review of Ageratum Seeds - Aloha Blue

    I love these short ageratums. I can't wait until they get even fluffier! These are definitely comparable to the starts I bought last year. However, this year I get to be more proud that I started these from seed! Germination was good. I think I started these in mid march. It's the start of July now, it has been HOT, these have been in full sun, with very little rain, and don't remember fertilizing them except for maybe one time. These are just troopers with brilliant fuzzy color.
