Growing Instructions:

Red Floss Flint Ageratum mexicanum grows reliably when started early and given consistent warmth. Sow indoors from February to April, lightly pressing the seeds onto the surface of moist seed compost, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 18–21°C and keep the soil evenly moist. Seedlings usually emerge within 10–14 days. Once large enough to handle, transplant into individual pots and acclimatise them outdoors for 7–10 days after the last frost. Plant out in a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained soil, spacing 25–30 cm apart. Water regularly during dry spells and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. Protect young plants from slugs and ensure good airflow to prevent mildew.
