Thank you for that mention! I was listening to the video and heard my channel name and was like oh! that's me! Love your video as always. Mistflower is one of my favorites, too. Mine did not like last summer's 2 month drought though. I grow most of mine in the sun, and last summer was brutal. The summer before they did just fine. So I'm still waiting for mine to show back up. The ones I grow in shade here just don't get as bushy and don't get as many blooms, but it could be a local ecotype or ecoregion thing. I got my original plants from a local native plant rescue, so they are most likely what was naturally growing in my region. Maybe in my region our mistflowers need more sun? Just a random thought I had. Also, I find roots fascinating and I love getting to see the root systems when I plant new plants or when I dig up my established ones and divide them. Thanks for sharing!
Yes of course! It was a pertinent video of yours, a mention made sense! :-) Ecoregions/ecotypes for specific species is an interesting thought for what's happening between yours and mine in their different locations.
Thanks for this. I live in Vancouver and this plant is common in gardens here. I think I'm more familiar with calling it Ageratum but I like Mistflower better.
Hehe, Mistflower does sound more pretty and ethereal than Ageratum. ☺ That's really nice to hear that it's so common in Vancouver. I don't see it very commonly down here in the States, which is a shame because it's pretty easy to grow and looks so pleasing! Might I ask what other native plants you see commonly up there?
