Ageratum houstonianum (Flossflower, Bluemink; syn. Ageratum mexicanum Hort.) is a cool-season annual plant often grown as a bedding plant in gardens. The flowers are usually blue (though sometimes white, pink, or purple), the heads borne in dense corymbs. The ray flowers are threadlike, leading to the common name.
