Agastache x ‘Blue Fortune’ (Anise Hyssop)

A no-fuss and no-fail perennial. If the soils are well-drained this Agastache selection will reward you with weeks of color in late summer. Long bottle-brush blooms are pale violet blue and are set against lush foliage that when crushed smells like black licorice. A cross between A. rugosa and A. foeniculum; ‘Blue Fortune’ has shown great tolerance for both heat and humidity.
