Blue Mistflower (Eupatorium coelestinum)

Mistflower is doing beautifully at our Haskins Preserve Garden in Westport, it is absolutely leaping in year 1! Growing in full sun to light shade, the fuzzy blue flowers of Hardy Ageratum top attractive red stems in late summer and early fall. Easy to grow, it naturalizes readily and works well as a filler or groundcover planting. 

Its brilliant blue flowers make a unique and long-lasting cut flower. In warmer zones and loose soils, plan for a size of 3’x 3’. In addition to butterflies, this late summer and fall blooming plants provides food for many insects, some of which are in turn food for insect-eating birds like Bluebirds, Orioles, Warblers and Red-wing Blackbirds.
