Herbs are small plants that have a fleshy or juicy stem when they are young. The stems of some herbs develop hard, woody tissue when they grow old. This means that the tops of the plants die each growing season, but the roots remain alive and produce new plants year after year.

Often grown over arbors, arches or pergolas, vines or climbers create terrific focal points with their decorative flowers, foliage or berries. Adding height to the landscape, they bring interest to dull walls or fences and contribute to magnificent backdrops for your beds and borders. Highly versatile, climbers may be used to provide shade to a sunny patio, soften the lines of the landscape or hide any undesirable garden feature. Climbers may be grown over other plants to provide additional attraction. In doing so, make sure that you synchronize their flowering times and match their pruning requirements.

While some marigold species are perennials, most of the common types are annuals that die with the first frost. Marigolds are roughly divided into four categories: French marigolds (Tagetes patula), low growing, long lasting flowers that grow to a height of about 1 foot; African marigolds (Tagetes erecta), large-bloomed, tall flowers that reach heights of up to 3 feet; triploid marigolds (Tagetes erecta x Tagetes patula), sterile hybrids derived from African and French marigolds; and signet marigolds (Tagetes tenuifolia), marigolds that have single, daisylike flowers.

COMMON NAME: ageratum
GENUS: Ageratum
SPECIES, HYBRIDS, CULTIVARS:
FAMILY: Compositae
BLOOMS: summer and fall
TYPE: annual
DESCRIPTION: Ageratum hybrids vary in height from 5 to 24 inches. Their spread is generally 6 to 9 inches. Individual flowers are clustered tightly and resemble small powder puffs.
CULTIVATION: Seeds should be sown in the garden in early May. Press the seeds firmly into the seedbed, but do not cover them, for they need light to germinate. It takes approximately ten days for the seeds to germinate. To start seeds indoors, sow them in March and allow the plants to become well established {two to three sets of true leaves} before you transplant them into the garden. Ageratum will thrive in full sun or partial shade.
Ageratum is native to Central America. It’s attractive blooms last a long time before they start to look old. This fact is reflected in the name, which is from Greek words a, meaning “not,” and geras meaning “old.” It has also been suggested that to eat the flower would keep a person from getting old.
Dwarf varieties of ageratum are particularly popular as edging plants. Taller varieties look spectacular with yellow chrysanthemums in the fall garden.
