How to
Plant Red Flint Ageratum
WHEN TO PLANT AGERATUM SEEDS
Plant
outdoors directly after the last frost of the season or start indoors 8-10
weeks before last frost.
WHERE TO PLANT AGERATUM SEEDS
Plant in
full sun where available (6-8 hours of sun per day). Ageratum will tolerate
partial shade (4-6 hours of sun per day) and prefers partial shade in
exceptionally hot environments. Plant in moist, average, well-draining soils.
Ageratum is prone to wilt if left dry and may die outright if left dry for too
long in a hot environment.
HOW TO PLANT AGERATUM SEEDS
Lightly
press 4-8 seeds into the surface of the soil no deeper than 1/8th of an inch.
Seeds should not be buried, as exposing seeds to sunlight is needed for
germination. When sown indoors, transplant them into the garden 6-10 inches
apart.
HOW TO CARE FOR AGERATUM
Ageratum is
a low-maintenance plant, and it will readily fill in garden beds if it has
enough water. Ageratum will bloom consistently on its own without the need of
deadheading as old blooms will naturally fall off as new blooms arrive.
Ageratum flowers less vigorously in hotter environments. Roots may rot in
poorly draining soils. Powdery mildew may be present if overhead watered, so
watering around the roots of the plant is advised. Ageratum grows best in areas
with good air circulation.
Store Policies
All seeds will come in a resalable plastic zip lock bag and placed
in a bubble envelope so the seeds are not damaged by shipping machines. All
seed packets contain no fillers or other weeds or seeds mixed in. Most have
been harvested by hand & all test at a high germination rate.
Seed Information
We guarantee that all seed orders will contain the quantity
ordered. Unlike many sellers who sell seeds by weight, all seed our counts are
almost always correct, as the seeds are packaged and counted by hand. Seed
packages are all double checked to insure accuracy. We do our best and will
often add extra seeds.
We are a seller that caters to experienced gardeners. (germination
and plant care information is readily available online. Most of our listings
include germination instructions, so we do not ship growing instructions.
All My Seeds Are Sold Fresh So You Can Plant them Anytime within 2
years from Purchase
***Note: It is normal for
tropical seed germination to be sporadic from as little as 30 days to 6 months
or more- so patience is required. Buyers should do their own research for plant
uses if needed.
BE PREPARED – Some Seed can be
somewhat difficult to germinate – much patience and time may be required –
please don’t be wondering why the seeds have not germinated after short periods
of time. This is normal. Several months will be needed for some seed.
Some seeds require some experience in growing. We provide
germination guidance and recommend that you do some research before ordering if
you feel unsure. Growing plants from seed is supposed to be fun. Sometimes it
is successful and sometimes not- this is the way it is with gardening. Because
we are not there to plant them, we cannot be responsible for germination
failure due to improper planting or climate conditions. We will always send you
viable seeds
Seed is a live product which depends on many important grower
skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, watering, light
intensity, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides,
soil conditions, and reasonable weather during the growing period. These
factors are totally out of the sellers control, and germination and growing
results are the buyer’s responsibility and risk.
