Ageratum aromaticum, Ageratum odoratissimus Family: Asteraceae / Compositae Fragrant Ageratum, Fruity Weed Origin: Ecuador and Colombia This rare variety of ageratum is a highly aromatic plant. All parts of the plant emit a wonderful fragrance. The scent is somewhat fruity and consists of the smell of dry herbs, thyme, rosemary, and lavender all together. Once you touch it, you will be able to smell it for a few minutes. Unlike other plants from this genus that are mostly annuals, this plant is a perennial, semi-woody shrub. Bright, pink flowers bloom from spring to late fall. Needs very little care, and is a very fast grower. The only requirement is regular watering, when soil gets too dry, the plant wilts, but recovers easily once watered again. Keep the soil moist, and you will be rewarded with a great scent along your pathways. Can be used in sachets and herb pillows, it keeps its scent for a long time. It attracts lots of flying insects and butterflies. Link to this plant: http://toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/ageratum_aromaticum.htm
