Flowers Seed Agerato Pink

Overview

Ageratum Pink Seeds (Ageratum houstonianum): The Fluffy Pink Cloud 

Ageratum, commonly known as Floss Flower, is a delightful annual cherished for its unique, fluffy, powder-puff texture and long-lasting colour. This pink variety produces masses of soft, rosy-pink blooms that form dense, low-growing mounds, providing a beautiful, continuous layer of colour throughout the summer. The flowers have a cloud-like appearance that adds a wonderful textural element to container displays, edging, and window boxes. Easy to grow and a great performer, Pink Ageratum provides reliable colour until the first frosts of autumn.

Key Features

• Unique "Floss" Texture: Features distinctive, tassel-like blooms that add a soft, airy texture rarely found in other bedding plants.
• Tidy & Compact Habit: Maintains a beautifully rounded shape without needing constant pruning, making it ideal for precision edging and container gardening.
• Reliable Summer Groundcover: The prolific flower heads grow closely together, creating a solid carpet of pink that effectively suppresses weeds.
• Attracts Garden Friends: While the flowers look delicate, they are sturdy nectar sources that are particularly attractive to butterflies and hoverflies.

Gardener's Tip

To ensure your Pink Ageratum plants maintain their compact shape and deliver a continuous, heavy flush of blooms right up until the first frost, regular deadheading is key. Sow indoors in early spring and plant out in late May/early June. Do not wait for individual flowers to fade; instead, use sharp scissors or snips to trim the entire spent flower head or clump once the majority of the tiny flowers in that group have lost their colour. This simple action signals the plant to immediately divert energy into producing new flowers, keeping your borders neat and bright all season.
