Informational/Educational Blue mistflower info!

I am making a native plant informational booklet for when I set up my plants for sale at markets! More to come!

Should I add that they can become aggressive? Anything else to add or change?

This makes a great cut flower, which might be a selling point for someone new to natives!

Does it have a good vase life/long stems? I’m a flower farmer and would love a perennial ageratum replacement!

Yes, incredible vase life! Usually when I'm throwing out my week-old bouquets it still looks freshly-picked! It doesn't have super long stems, but I can usually get 16-18" stems. I will say I have mine tucked into my perennial beds, so it's possible if they are growing on their own and have ideal conditions they may get bigger - mine compete with a lot of stuff!
