Deer-resistant.Phonetic Spelling a-ger-AE-tum ho-stone-ee-AE-num DescriptionĪ frost-tender herbaceous annual to 1/2-1' tall, mounding with clusters of fluffy, aster-like flowers that should be planted with 10-12 inches of space. They are weather-resistant and thrive in bright full sun. These vegetative Ageratums are more uniform and flower more consistently than seed grown varieties. Artist 'Blue' & Artist 'Purple' will work extremely well in containers, mixed baskets and in the landscape.

They will flush back into bloom in a week or so.Īn application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
However, if the plants do become ratty or start to overgrow their location you can trim that back at any time. The plants shouldn't need much, if any, maintenance. Old flowers should quickly become buried under new flowers so the plant always looks fresh and never look old. They are good in pots or in the landscape. The Dallas Arboretum has used Artist ageratum for years in very prominent locations with great success.

Unlike most Ageratum the Artist series will bloom through the summer in hot climates. Most other Ageratum will need deadheading. Plants will "bury their dead" (new flowers will quickly cover old flowers) so no deadheading is necessary.
Deadheading not necessary for continuous bloom.
