Description

Exceptionally long-flowering aromatic hyssop, lovely as a front of border garden plant, edible and cut flower.

We grow ours to decorate a corner growing with tarragon and harvest the flowers to jolly up drinks, puddings and salads.

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.
