Latin Name: Ageratum houstonianum ‘Aloha’ 

The Ageratum ‘Aloha’ is a charming, compact annual prized for its fluffy, powder-blue flowers and long blooming season. Part of the Aloha series, it grows 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) tall with a neat, mounding habit, making it ideal for borders, containers, and edging.

This cultivar produces dense clusters of small, pom-pom-like blooms that attract butterflies and bees. Its soft, fuzzy flowers retain their vibrant color from spring until frost, with minimal fading. ‘Aloha’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining, moderately fertile soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires little maintenance beyond occasional deadheading.

Ageratum ‘Aloha’ is heat-resistant and less prone to flopping than taller varieties, ensuring a tidy display. Its classic blue hue pairs beautifully with white, pink, or yellow flowers like marigolds or zinnias.
