Hardy Ageratum (Eupatorium coelestinum) also known as Blue Mistflower or Blue Boneset, is an upright, branched wildflower that is part of the Aster family. Their soft, eye-catching bluish-purple, fuzzy flowers appear from mid-summer through fall. Ageratums attract bees, butterflies, and a variety of important pollinators. This perennial grows in hardiness zones 4-8. Hardy Ageratum reaches 2-3 ft in height and width when mature. Its native habitats are along stream banks, sunlit wetlands, and meadows. As a bonus, this plant is deer resistant.  

The attractive red stems of Blue Mistflower support fuzzy, lilac-blue flowers with bright-green leaves; the flowers provide profuse, long-lasting color from late summer through fall. Easy to grow, Hardy Ageratum can be used in a variety of garden types such as rain, cottage, and pollinator gardens, and is also excellent for areas that need erosion control. 

Blue Mistflower Care

Blue Mistflower is an adaptable wildflower that can grow in a variety of locations in partial to full sun. The sunnier the location, the more moisture the soil should have. This wildflower prefers moist, well-draining soil. Blue Mistflower is an important nectar source for butterflies, skippers, and native bees. 

Hardy Ageratum is an adaptable perennial wildflower that is naturally found at the edges of woods and woodland clearings, on banks of lakes, creeks, rivers, and wet prairies, and often found in open sunny meadows. 

Blue Mistflower Spacing

Used as a border perennial, space plants 20” apart or slightly closer together when used as a colonizing groundcover. These plants spread quickly and are excellent for naturalizing an open area. When Blue Mistflower is planted en masse, the eye-catching, misty-blue drifts of color make a big impact.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
