(Ageratum mexicanum) 4 inch pot.

Fluffy, bi-color blooms create clouds of soft periwinkle in the garden, simply covered in a sea of lovely blooms. A wonderful little plant for cottage gardens, container gardening, or at the foot of your cutting garden. She’s short ok? But that isn’t always a bad thing!

Leda makes a sweet little cut flower or it can be left in the garden to attract pollinators and highlight other plants you have growing. A win-win!
