Ageratum

/ˈædʒərətəm/ noun

A small flowering plant with delicate blue, pink, or white flowers that blooms throughout the summer and is popular in gardens.

From Greek 'ageratos,' meaning 'not growing old' or 'everlasting,' because the flowers retain their color well. The name was chosen because the blooms seemed to never age or fade during the flowering season.
