Conoclinium greggii, also known as Gregg’s blue mistflower and Texas ageratum, is a ground cover native to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and northern Mexico. It typically grows to a height of 12-18 inches and spreads up to 24 inches wide. The plant produces powder blue flowers similar to ageratum, blooming from summer to fall. These misty flowers are the reason for the common name of the plant. The plant has light green leaves and is attractive to butterflies. It is synonymous with and sometimes referred to as Eupatorium greggii.
Conoclinium greggii requires medium moisture and well-drained loam in full sun to part shade to grow. In ideal conditions, the plant can spread quite aggressively through rhizomes. Conoclinium greggii is winter-hardy to USDA Zone 7.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
