Even people who know their plants usually think of Ageratums as being blue, pink, or white. But Red Flint bucks the system with its near-red powderpuff blooms. It's a tall grower, even taller than Dondo White, so it makes a great background for lower growing flowering plants. Cut a few stems for the vase as you'll find they last quite well in bouquets. With so much going for it, you may think that this plant is difficult to grow from seed, but it's as easy as pie.

Growing Information

How to Sow

Choose a space in full sun. Ageratums will tolerate poor soil, but will do better if you add compost before planting. You can either create shallow drills or furrows or scatter seeds lightly before covering with a light layer of soil. Keep moist until they have germinated.
