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.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
