Description

A pretty front of border, or container stalwart which flowers the first year from seed. An invaluable nectar-rich plant for butterflies and bees.

Agastache leaves are delicious, picked young, in salads or to make tea.

Care Tips

Agastache prefers sunny free-draining soil. They do not require extra feeding - this will only encourage leggy growth. The plants will be stronger and more floriferous if you cut back flower stalks as flowers fade.
