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.

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.
