Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Agastache are incredibly useful for clouds of colour through the summer months. 'Cotton Candy' has massive numbers of densely clustered large light pink flowers with darker pink sepals that bloom all summer into fall. Up to two feet tall with bright green, fragrant foliage. The sepals remain in colour and do not brown like other agastache giving this cultivar a much longer season of interest. Even without a single flower there is still colour! Sun, dry soil.
