A valuable pollinator magnet with three times the flower power of standard Agastache! Enjoy the entourage of hummingbirds, butterflies and bumblebees that stop to savor nectar from the upright smoky lavender-blue spikes of tubular flowers. Licorice-scented foliage with a bonus – it is not favored by deer.
Agastache Little Adder is compact and well-branched – a standout for the front of the border. Drought tolerant, Anise Hyssop is an appealing perennial for summer through fall color in a sun-loving garden.

Agastache General Information
Agastache are equally good in the border and as a candidate for container growing. The better the drainage, the happier the plant. Scented foliage is good for flavoring drinks and drying. A customer advises us that her Goldfinches are wild for Agastache seed. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.
