Agastache Blue Boa, Hummingbird Mint
The luxurious deep violet-blue flower plumes of Blue Boa Hummingbird Mint, Agastache, are held over emerald green foliage. The flower spikes are long, wide and extremely showy. Its huge, 6 1/2″ flowers could be the largest of all Agastache. Very long blooming, you can expect flowers for 4 months. It’s drought tolerant once established and attracts hummingbirds as well as butterflies.
Ideal for pollinator, cutting and perennial gardens. They look beautiful in mixed containers.
Plant in full sun in soil that has been amended with organic matter. Soil should drain well, Agastache does not like “wet feet.” Although very drought tolerant, give good soakings during dry spells and when plants are setting up buds and blooming.
