Growing Ageratum Flowers and PlantsThese are fast growing plats so make sure not to grow them too close together about 6 inches don’t worry it will full up quicker than you think.Full sun is best except in places that are more south that get a stronger hot tropical sun, in this case plant it where it will get morning sun and shade in the afternoon. Putting mulch around the plant will help suppress weeds and keep the soil moist. Keep the soil moist but don’t water the leaves, this will cause them to burn and turn brown but worse fungal diseases which it is prone to. Fertilize once a month any type works great with this easy going plant. You will need to cut off the dead bloom to keep the plant looking healthy.
