Discover the enchanting beauty of Ageratum houstonianum 'Blue Mink', a delightful annual renowned for its vibrant and long-lasting powder-blue blooms from late spring until the first frost. Commonly known as Blue Mink Ageratum or Blue Mink Flossflower, this compact, clump-forming plant thrives as an eye-catching addition to any garden. Growing up to 12 inches tall and wide, 'Blue Mink' is perfect for edging, borders, rock gardens, or containers, effortlessly brightening your outdoor spaces with its dense, fluffy flowers. The attractive blossoms, which are highly appealing to butterflies, sit elegantly atop robust stems and verdant, mid-green ovate leaves.

Ideal for full sun, 'Blue Mink' performs best in rich, moist, well-drained soil, with some light afternoon shade in hot climates. While it has a resilient nature resistant to deer and rabbits, ensure consistent watering to maintain peak health. Originating from Mexico and Central America, this species is easy to propagate, either by sowing seeds indoors in late winter or directly in the garden post-frost. Embrace the natural charm of 'Blue Mink', a stunning choice for city gardens, cottage settings, and beyond.
