Descriptions of Agastache 'Cotton Candy'
This easy, vigorous grower blooms non-stop from midsummer through fall. The dense flower spikes have numerous light pink flowers. Compact low branching habit. Tolerates hot and dry conditions and summer watering. All Agastache are very popular with hummingbirds. Needs good drainage.
This Terra Nova introduction is one of the first of the brightly-colored agastache hybrids to survive our NC summers. Agastache 'Cotton Candy' forms a 2' tall x 3' wide drought-tolerant clump of upright green stems, each clothed in small, but very minty-fragranced leaves. From spring through fall, the stems are topped with dense clusters of small pink flowers emerging from the dark pink-tipped calyces. Agastache 'Cotton Candy' is a magnet for both butterflies and hummingbirds...we recommend a flight control tower within a 100' radius. Good drainage is essential for long-term survivability.
