Description
Ageratina altissima 'Chocolate'
Height x Spread: 100cm x 50cm
This plant has wonderful purple foliage throughout the summer months and into autumn when it then starts to bloom. The flowers are creamy white and contrast well with the foliage. Bees and butterflies love it too.
Very easy to grow, this late season perennial is a great choice for a border, whether cottage garden or formal in style and is particularly striking combined with ornamental grasses. Happy in sun or part shade in most soil types.
