Karen--

The Ageratum you have---it is so tall. is that some different variety
then the typical one we all know?
I used to have a "Tall Ageratum" and shared all my seeds away.
It was a good biennial--kept coming up on its own all over the round
bed my KK Hibiscus is now in.
They were easily recognized--as soon as they sprouted--and easily
prick up and move anywhere I wanted to have them.

I see in some of the catalogs offer a "Tall Ageratum" .
Never found any on the seed displays at HD. Need to check earlier..
Do you save the spent seed-heads? The seeds are so miniscule, you cannot
see them, so just rubbing the seed-heads over the bed is good enough.

I dead-head my Knockout Rose in the spring--simply to contain its spread.
It is on the corner by my shed and would infringe on my neighbor's property if I did not.

Do you do anything special with the Rose Hips?

See you soon! Gita

first bloom in May after the winter..
the way it looks today...end of August
