 | Agastache scrophulariifolia ‘Premium Carmine’ |
| Common name : Anise-hyssop |
| |
| A long-blooming selection for the middle to back of the border, featuring wands of deep purple-pink flowers. Plants form an upright bush of licorice-scented green leaves. Both the flowers and leaves are edible and fun to sprinkle into salads. Attractive to butterflies. Removing faded blooms will help to lengthen the flowering time. Especially attractive in combination with Rudbeckia or Purple Coneflower. Also beautiful combined with the blue selections of Agastachei. Easily divided in spring.
