For ageratum, choose a sunny and wind-protected area with nutritious, light, non-acidic and well-drained soil.

How long does ageratum bloom

Ageratum blooms from June until frost.

The color of flowers in modern varieties is white, blue, blue, lilac, or pink.

The fruit is a small wedge-shaped achene with five sides and a fringe.

How to feed ageratum seedlings

To do this, you can use Floral Lignohumate, which contains humic acids that stimulate the growth and development of plants, as well as fulvic acids, substances that improve their nutrition.

When and how to plant ageratum

Ageratum seedlings should be planted in open ground at the end of May, after the threat of return frosts has passed.

Plant ageratum in holes that have been previously spilled with water (if the soil is wet, there is no need to water).

The planting distance is 15-20 cm from each other in open ground and 12-18 cm in containers.

Do I need to prune ageratum

Cut off faded buds and inflorescences to save plant strength.

Remove dried/broken/diseased leaves.

Trim the stems periodically, leaving no more than 3-4 internodes at the base of each for lush flowering.
