I do not find folliage attractive, tends to curl inward, maybe something wrong with them. I would call color "periwinkle" lavender/blue, the plants saving grace. The flowers look almost fluorescent in the late afternoon/early evening light. OK if something is planted in front of them to hide folliage. I will probably not buy again. |

| Positive | poppysue | On Jan 22, 2003, poppysue from Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) wrote: Something about the tall ageratums that I prefer over the short bedding types. 'Blue Horizon' is a great cultivar. It blooms all summer, makes great cut flowers, and the butterflies LOVE it. It grows 16-18 inches tall and is a wonderful garden plant. It's seeds are sterile so don't bother collecting them... buy from a reliable source. |
