2003 ASCFG Fresh Cut Flower of the Year
The ASCFG Fresh Cut Flower of the Year for 2003 is Ageratum 'Blue Horizon'. The very uniform, 30-inch tall plants of 'Blue Horizon' produce many long-lasting 3-inch flower clusters on long strong stems.
This cultivar grows well in any fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Plant every 3 to 4 weeks to maintain season-long production of long stems.
Maryland grower Roxana Whitt says "Blue Horizon Ageratum works well in bouquets for us and is superior to other ageratums we've tried." Indiana cut flower grower Beverly Sharritt says "We had an increased demand for it from our florist customers this summer and will increase production for 2003."
