Description

Agastache ‘Blackadder’

Fat plumptious spikes crowded with lavender-blue tubular flowers surrounded by a pretty haze of exerted anthers all erupting from dark purple buds and calyces. These are a favourite of bees and butterflies and produce plenty of flowers all Summer into Autumn. Requiring good drainage and sunny positions, Agastache are hardy in milder Winters. This variety is vigorous and upright achieving 3 feet with fresh green minty leaves and stems.

The flowers are highly attractive not only to us, but to bees and butterflies. Whilst dead-heading stimulates the production of fresh flowers, the last flowers of the season should be left on as the seed provide an Autumn feast for finches. The leaves are edible and may be used to pep up salads or teas. On the downside, Agastache aren’t bone hardy in Britain and cuttings, overwintered under shelter, may be a wise precaution. Drought tolerant. Any soil, needs good drainage.
