Perennial Ageratum

As summer ends, another reliable and attractive plant brightens up the garden.  It is the perennial ageratum, filled with puffy blue flowers. 

 Mine this year are a bit tall.  I should have pinched them back earlier in the summer. 

It occasionally sets a foot out in the path, but it is easily removed and should not be considered really invasive.  It does spread enough to be shared with the neighbors. 

 The blue flowers hang around until frost, and the plant returns in early summer.  It is another passalong plant.  I have not seen one in a nursery.
