Agastache 'Little Adder'
Lavender-blue flowers on compact, well-branched, bushy mounds of fragrant green foliage.
Drought and heat-tolerant,
Sweet, licorice-scented foliage.
Attractive to hummingbirds and pollinators.
Category: Perennials
Patent: PP26,514
Height: 15-18 in
Spread: 18-22 in
Bloom Color: Lavender- Blue
Foliage Color: Green
Deadhead spent flowers to promote additional bloom. Do not overwater.
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, very well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerant of some light shade. Good soil drainage is essential. Plants will perform poorly and may not survive winter in hard clay soils that retain moisture. Plants tolerate heat and some dry soils once established.
Agastache, commonly called hyssop, is a genus containing about 30 species of upright herbaceous perennials, most of which are native to North America.
Agastache hybrids often have showier flowers and better winter hardiness than species plants. Hybrid flowers come in a variety of different flower colors including shades of red, orange, pink, yellow and white. Hybrids typically feature dense terminal spikes of tiny 2-lipped tubular flowers which bloom mid-summer to fall in many-flowered verticillasters (false whorls) stiff, square stems clad with opposite pairs of serrate, fragrant (anise/licorice scented) gray-green to medium green leaves. Flowers are attractive to bees, hummingbirds and butterflies.
Genus name comes from the Greek words agan meaning "very much" and stachys meaning "ear of wheat" in reference to the appearance of the flower spikes.
