    Customer photo review of Ageratum Seeds (Dwarf) - Blue Mink

    90% Germination planted in soil blocks, transplanted well. My property is heavily shaded so they are a bit more leggy than the advertised picture but that is no fault of the product. My picture is not a great representation of color. They are more periwinkle in person, as advertised.

    I threw these seeds out by base of bird feeder and literally did nothing,(,no water) in spring and they did great! I needed something short do squirrels couldn't climb and get to bird seed and this was great! Also grew some for other areas of garden and easy. I want more!

    Ageratum Seeds (Dwarf) - Blue Mink

    I direct sowed my entire packet of seeds after my seed tray starts failed. I was not expecting good results because there was nothing happening for such a long time. These were so slow to start but then it felt like they just took off overnight. The 6 clusters I planted have been blooming strong for weeks now, and not showing any real signs of slowing. They also do well as a cut flower. My blooms are not as thick or prolific as the website images, but the bold leaf shape and vibrant color makes it a beautiful plant. In my soil the color was also a little more purple and very saturated. The photos on this site show a softer bluish purple, but mine are almost a neon purple. They just glow and I love it. Looking forward to see how long they last this late summer into fall.
