Dwarf Floss Flower Seeds – Ageratum houstonianum 'Blue Mink' – Compact Purple Pollinator Magnet for Borders & Containers.
🌸 Bring Soft, Fuzzy Texture to Your Garden Borders
Ageratum, or "Floss Flower," is a classic garden annual prized for its unique, fluffy flower heads that resemble tiny pom-poms. Unlike other annuals, these blooms retain their bright lavender-blue hue without fading in the heat. Our 'Blue Mink' variety is a compact dwarf selection that stays neat, uniform, and tidy all season long. It provides reliable, color-packed performance in garden beds, hanging baskets, and patio containers.
Planting & Growing Guide

- Soil Type: Well-drained, loamy soil; rich in organic matter.
- Germination Time: 7–14 days at 70–75°F (21–24°C).
- Days to Maturity: 60–70 days from seed to bloom.
- Plant Height: 6–10 inches.
- Spacing: Space plants 8 to 10 inches apart in the garden to allow for good air circulation.

🧑🌾 Cultivation Tips
- Start Indoors: Lightly press seeds into the soil surface (do not cover completely, as light aids germination).
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Once established, Ageratum is moderately drought-tolerant.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks for continuous bloom.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage fresh growth and extend the bloom season through September.
- Companion Planting: Pairs beautifully with Marigolds, Salvia, Vinca, and Dusty Miller.
