The Native Wildflower, Ageratum - Nature 160

We saw a beautiful wildflower with blue color. It is an Ageratum, yes, the plant is native to our state, Louisiana.


Image 01 - The Blue flower

They are volunteer, not commercial plants as far as I know, wild ageratum, Asteraceae family.

Based on internet, we believe the scientific name is Conoclinium coelestinum, and common name Blue Mist flower.

The plant is loved by two kinds of bugs, they are spittle bugs and mealy bugs. It is because plant contains:
- high nutritional values
- succulent tissues

Because its beauty, some people grow it in their yards. Butterfly come to visit this flower too.

Do you recognize this Blue Mist flower?

    Preciosa flor azulada del Ageratum, no es muy frecuente en las flores el tono azulado de ahí que cuando surge en alguna (como lo es en este caso) llama poderosamente la atención . Gracias por mostrárnoslo. Un saludo

    **Great post!** I’ve noticed Blue Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) in my garden too—such a pretty wildflower! It’s no surprise that spittle bugs and mealy bugs love it since it’s so nutrient-rich and tender. A bit of a pest magnet, but definitely worth having for the pollinators. Thanks for sharing the details! 🌿🐛

    **Love this!** Blue Mistflower is such a underrated native—so easy to grow and a total pollinator magnet. The spittlebugs and mealybugs might love it a little *too* much, but that just means it’s doing its job in the ecosystem. Perfect for a low-maintenance wildlife garden! Thanks for the info. 🌸🐞
