Agastache (Hyssop-Anise)
Color Name: Sunrise Violet
One of the easiest and most rewarding perennials to grow! Enjoy showy, long-lasting, violet colored, upright flower spikes all summer long! The bottlebrush-like flowers on strong, upright stems are a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds! Flowers and foliage will delight with a profusion of blooms from summer through fall and an enjoyable mint scent. Use in sunny beds, borders, and patio containers. Drought-tolerant in coastal regions.
Growing Tips: Agastache should be planted in full sun and slightly alkaline soil. The most critical factor is good drainage. This plant will NOT tolerate wet soil, especially in winter. When planting, put a thick layer of gravel in the bottom of the hole and then mix more in with the filler soil. Native to the southwest US and Mexico, it is naturally heat and drought tolerant.
