The Ageratum genus, a member of the Aster family, includes more than 40 annual and perennial plant species native to Central America and Mexico, but for North American gardeners, the name ageratum generally refers to Ageratum houstonianum, also known as floss flower. This annual plant is useful in flower beds for the large masses of bright purplish-blue flowers that bloom reliably from late spring until the first frosts of fall. At one time, only very low varieties were available, making this primarily an edging plant, but now there are now more upright varieties available, growing as much as 30 inches tall, making it also useful for the middle of the flower garden. Few other plants offer the long bloom period and the unique blue color of ageratum, though cultivars in different colors are also available. Ageratum is normally planted from nursery bedding packs in the spring after all danger of frost has passed and the ground is warm. It can also be grown from seeds started indoors; the plant will flower about 60 to 70 days after the seeds sprout.
