Good Qualities
Tall (3); Color (4); Long stems (2); Slightly stronger than Blue Horizon; Good, helpful in mixed bouquet use; Stem strength; Nice fragrance, easy to clip old flowers off, best one I’ve grown; Free flowering; Heads held up well despite all the rain and are still blooming; Long lasting – blooms all season; Good growth in greenhouse trial; Florist loved it and it looked nice in field; No problems, insect free, good sturdy stems.
Problems
Later to flower than Blue Horizon (2); For some reason most florists in my area were not enthusiastic about ageratum; Not as prolific as other cutting Ageratums; Very few flowers, all foliage; Up and down habit, plants fell open and needed 1 layer of staking; Blue Horizon is better and more preferred than Blue Bouquet; Seemed to be somewhat straggly in stature, slower to bloom and heads not as large as Blue Horizon; Grows too tall in field with weak stems.

Comments
Similar to Blue Horizon (5); Blue Horizon is better (3); Ageratum did well despite moisture, however, because of late date plant never truly matured to full production; Our cutters preferred to cut in the Blue Bouquet bed later in the season rather than the Blue Horizon bed; Performance is poor compared to Ageratum potential and may be cultural conditions or cultivar; Sorry I didn’t plant enough; Vase life – 5 days.
