{"product_id":"conoclinium-eupatorium-coelestinum-1","title":"Conoclinium [Eupatorium] coelestinum (Hardy Ageratum, Mist flower) - 1 gal","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlue Mistflower, also known as Hardy Ageratum, is a lovely late-blooming native wildflower. When it bursts into bloom in September, it is covered in flat-topped clusters of fuzzy, blue-violet to lavender-colored flowers that provide an excellent source of nectar for numerous pollinators. It is a total butterfly magnet! It is also a host to the furry little Ruby Tiger Moth and the ever-so-chic Clymene Moth. This plant can be somewhat aggressive as it spreads readily by seed and through vigorous rhizomatous growth, making it a good choice for meadows and large naturalized areas. Rabbits and deer tend to avoid the bitter foliage, allowing for easy establishment of a thick groundcover in areas where they can roam freely. If a shorter or more controlled specimen is desired, plants can be cut back by half in early summer. Blue Mistflower resents drying out and grows best in consistently moist soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSources:\u003cbr\u003eGrowing and Propagating Wildflowers by William Cullina\u003cbr\u003eMissouri Botanical Garden\u003cbr\u003eLady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center\u003cbr\u003eIllinois Wildflowers\u003cbr\u003eNC State Extension\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scioto Gardens Native Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47949236502769,"sku":"ConCoel2","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/7092\/9905\/files\/25302974-b015-4435-b408-1b07aff50b98.jpg?v=1774289937","url":"https:\/\/scioto-gardens-native-plant-nursery.myshopify.com\/products\/conoclinium-eupatorium-coelestinum-1","provider":"Scioto Gardens Native Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
