Good Qualities
Nice filler (3); Good white when fresh; As with ‘High Tide Blue’, this variety germinated well (though not as well as ‘High Tide Blue’), and grew fine under field conditions; Easy to grow, many flowers, it’s a different kind of cut; Hardy; Grows and blooms like a winner; Still going strong 10/12 (Zone 7B); Great stem length and flower size; An alternative to blue ageratum; It was white! 2nd planting was thick, sturdy stems; Long/sturdy stems; The white was good and a lot of my customers wanted it, like the blue, it bloomed two weeks earlier than tall ‘Blue Horizon’.
Problems
Flowers turned brown or were dirty looking (5); Stems too short (3); Most flower heads small (2); Didn’t grow as well as blue; First cut wimpy and no second cut; Abundant; Limited size most flower heads; None with the plant or flower; People don’t buy it because of the color; Had to cut back several times before got any height, finally got 18-in. in mid-October but frost got it.

Comments
Similar to ‘White Bouquet’; Smells like “Bells of Ireland”, same as blue ageratum; Seeds were planted in 98 (cell) trays and covered lightly with vermiculite on 1-25-05; These ageratums were too short for me, and I quit cutting them after about 2 cuts, but they bloomed all season; I don’t see enough difference between the ‘High Tides’ and existing varieties to change over to using them.
