    I got seeds in the Nov. 2017 DND swap that were tagged 'Aloha White' ageratum. I've wondered whether they are the same as these 'Hawaii White' and someone crossed the name up by association as I can find no reference anywhere to 'Aloha'. I just love the neat 10" mounds and pure bright white flowers. They've bloomed all summer and I hope they will return from dropped seed heads.
