Blue Boa Agastache

The Blue Boa Agastache is a sturdy perennial plant that grows each season to 2 or 3 feet tall, with many spikes of colorful flowers topping leafy stems. Each flower cluster is 6 inches long and fat with many flowers that are a beautiful purple-blue color. The dark-green foliage smells of licorice and is edible, and the flowers attract bees and hummingbirds. This sun-lover is perfect in the front of your beds to follow spring blooming shrubs, or in xeric gardens and rocky places.

• Bold spikes of purple-blue flowers on a leafy clump
• Blooms continuously from June into September
• Thrives in hot, dry places in your garden
• Also has improved resistance to winter damp
• Attractive to bees and hummingbirds

Full sun gives the best results with the Blue Boa Agastache, and it should be planted in well-drained soil, which could be rough ground with sand and gravel. Avoid wet clay, although this plant has better resistance to winter damp than other Agastache. Pests or diseases are rare and deer leave it alone. The only care needed is to cut it to the ground each fall – it will be back stronger than ever in spring.
