$7.99
This agastache is a hybrid of the native Agastache foeniculum and Asian Agastache rugosa. It boasts dusky lavender-blue flowers, a beautiful vertical structure, and licorice-scented leaves. Very prolific bloomer; deadheading will encourage even more blooming.
Hybridizing brought bigger flowers, a very long blooming season and a bit more compact growth. 'Blue Fortune' is a very popular variety that can often be seen in public plantings. The spikes are also a bit longer (up to 4"), but the color is nearly the same as the species of A. foeniculum. It still provides a very popular nectar source for many butterflies, hummingbirds, native bees and honeybees (as we observed and compared with A. foeniculum and A. 'Black Adder').
Great perennial for sunny borders, cottage gardens, pollinator or butterfly gardens. Some excellent companions are Achillea, Baptisia, Coreopsis, Echinacea, Eryngium, Liatris, Monarda, Nepeta, Rudbeckia, Ratibida, and other sun-loving perennials.
Also known as anise hyssop and hummingbird mint.
Blooming Time: July to September
Size: 3' tall x 1.5-2' wide
USDA Zones: 5 to 9
Culture: Grows best in full sun or light shade, in somewhat drained soils with medium or less moisture. In clay, especially wet clay, this plant will be short-lived and may rot over winter.
Moisture Needs: medium
Origin: Selected by Gert Fortgens of the Arboretum Trompenberg in Rotterdam, Netherlands (A. rugosa x A. foeniculum).
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes/no
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: butterflies, bees and other pollinators
Attracts Hummingbirds: yes
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" perennial pot

Happy healthy plant
It's grown 3" in the 5 days since I planted in my garden. I will enjoy its blooms until frost!

Excellent condition
Plants arrived with multiple stems and had great upper and bottom growth. Every time I order from USPREANNIALS I feel confident I'll receive the best because they take pride in their workmanship and their products. Thank you for another batch of joy to share with others.
