Description
Dusky mauve flower spikes appear in summer drawing pollinators to them like magnets, this is a mound-forming, drought tolerant perennial which has soft, downy foliage highly scented with mint and aniseed.
Steep in hot water for a soothing herbal tea, or snip the leaves into salads, if you like aniseed flavour. They also make a good alternative to tarragon or chervil in cooking.
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.
