Featured Plant: Agastache

Most gardeners are familiar with the spiky blue anise hyssop. Lovely as it is, there are a lot more Agastache out there, in a variety of colors and scents. What they all share is a hardy disposition, drought tolerance and a long season of bloom. ‘Licorice Mint Hyssop’, shown here, is part of a garden design to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Take a peek at Agastache and then keep an eye out for the different varieties available in your local nurseries. They’re beautiful additions to almost any garden.
