Ageratum houstonianum ("Floss Flower") seedlings for SASE

Ageratum houstonianum "Floss Flower" blue/Autumn flowering seedlings for SASE

http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/256/index.html

I have a large supply of seedlings of this native plant/wildflower. It may be considered "invasive" by some -- it will spread rapidly by its underground root system and may also possibly spread by self-seeding. It is a source of nectar for butterflies in the Fall when there are few other nectar sources available. Its color is close to being a "true" blue (without much purple tint), which seems to be somewhat difficult to find in flowers (I consider Plumbago to be a true blue, and the A. houstonianum tint is about the same).

If you have a large empty field for wildflowers, this would be a good plant to add for Autumn color and possibly for erosion control. In ornamental plantings, you may be able to control its spread by planting it within some sort of confinement barrier. It is better behaved (spreads less profusely) in shade, rather than in full sun (where I currently have it planted). It will tolerate either shade or sun and probably will grow in just about any soil type.

Please send me a D-mail and specify how many seedlings you want (request by the dozens, if you wish, I have plenty!)

I am offering these for return of exact postage via your preference for shipment method. I am currently experiencing a glut of plants (if such a thing is possible for an obsessive gardener!) and don't have any particular plants I want in trade (but you may be able to tempt me with some woodland wildflowers that would do well in Zone 8b/9a subtropical heat and humidity or other "true blue" flowers).
