GROWING TIPS:

For best results, start Ageratum, Mix seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly in the garden after the last frost date. Plant the seeds in well-drained soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch and space the plants 8-12 inches apart. Optimal germination temperature is 70-75°F. Ageratum, Mix is a hardy plant that is relatively low maintenance and will thrive with proper care. Regular watering is important during dry spells, and the plants will benefit from a light application of compost or fertilizer in early spring.

When it comes to harvesting, Ageratum, Mix is ready to be harvested once the flowers have fully formed. Simply cut the stems, hang them upside down, and allow the flowers to dry completely. Store the dried flowers in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, and they'll be ready to use whenever you need them.
