Wonderful for your wetlands, this wild ageratum closely resembles the domesticated variety so popular in gardens today. Small, fluffy, bluish-purple flowers appear in compact clusters, and bloom from mid-summer to frost. Propagating by rhizomes, this wildflower rapidly spreads. Wonderful for ground cover or naturalizing, and a great attraction to butterflies!
