Description

Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) has an extensive native range covering the Eastern half of the United States, from New York to Florida, and west to Nebraska and Texas. It is commonly found in moist areas like forest margins, river banks, ditches, or wet meadows. It looks especially beautiful when grown as a naturalizing mid-height layer throughout woodland gardens.

Mistflower spreads quickly through rhizomes and seed to form dense groundcover, most happy in partial shad with moist, well-drained soils. It can also thrive in full sun if given enough moisture. Mistflower can be thinned in early spring to scale back the spread, but it is best suited for areas where it has some freedom to spread.

Blue Mistflower is sometimes called or mistaken for Wild Ageratum, but it is not related to the short annual bedding plant.
