Agastache Hyssop Sunrise Blue

Bring rich color to compact spaces with Sunrise™ Blue Hyssop, a dense perennial that produces tall spikes of lavender-purple flowers with pink calyces from early summer through early fall. Growing just 12 inches tall with flowers reaching 18 inches, this variety forms a tidy mound of grayish green, licorice-scented foliage. Drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, it's a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while thriving in full sun with minimal care. The long-lasting blooms make excellent cut flowers, and its compact size is perfect for containers and small gardens.
