These premium Blue Crown Ageratum seeds are strictly cleaned and screened to filter out shrunken, broken and immature grains, ensuring stable germination. This low-growing annual forms neat bushy clumps with soft green ovate leaves. The tiny flowers gather into rounded, fuzzy lavender-blue flower heads that keep blooming for an extended period. The delicate blooms attract beneficial pollinators such as butterflies.
Product Advantages Blue Crown Ageratum maintains a tidy dwarf shape without frequent trimming. It offers abundant continuous blue blooms from late spring through autumn, adding soft cool color to mixed flower plantings. It works well as border edging, fills gaps in flower beds, and adapts nicely to patio containers. It is simple to grow for beginner gardeners.
Planting Method Sow seeds on the soil surface, lightly press them into medium, do not deeply cover, since light helps germination. Keep soil evenly moist. Germination takes 10–18 days at 18–24°C. Full sun or light partial shade works. Space plants 15–20cm apart. Use loose well-draining soil. Water regularly, avoid overwatering which causes root rot. Remove faded blooms to encourage more flowers.
Suitable Planting Regions It can be grown as an annual in most temperate and subtropical zones. Sow after the last frost in spring. It prefers warm conditions; young seedlings cannot withstand frost.
Value & Application Perfect for garden borders, bedding plantings, rock gardens, window boxes and balcony flower pots. The soft blue pompom flowers are lovely for cut flower arrangements and pollinator gardens.
