Agastache Hyssop Sunrise Red

Make a bold statement with Sunrise™ Red Hyssop, a dense perennial that produces tall spikes of nectar-rich ruby-red flowers with burgundy calyces from mid-spring through mid-fall. Growing just 12 inches tall with flowers reaching 18 inches, this compact variety forms a tidy mound of 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.
