Floss Flower

From LoveToKnow Garden

Floss Flower (Ageratum) - Tender herbs, varying in height from 6 inches to 24 inches, with pale-blue, lavender, or white blossoms. The dwarf Ageratums are among the best, but all are over-valued, though they are among the most lasting of summer bedding plants. There are numerous varieties of varying merit, some in good soil 2 feet high, and others not more than 6 inches. The dwarf kinds are disappointing; they flower so freely, and the growth of the plants is so sparse that they always appear stunted. For back lines in borders, or for grouping in mixed flower borders, there is no variety better than the oldest kind, A. mexicanum. They strike best when placed on a gentle bottom-heat, and will winter in any position where there is plenty of light, and the temperature does not go below 40 degrees Cuttings.
