Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Agastache are incredibly useful for clouds of colour through the summer months. ‘Summer Love’ has massive numbers of densely clustered large dark pink flowers that bloom all summer and into fall. Three feet tall with bright green, fragrant foliage. The Summer Series have sepals that remain in colour and do not brown like other agastache giving these cultivars a much longer season of interest. Even without a single flower there is still colour! Sun, dry soil.

Summer Love produces wave after wave of flower spikes from summer to fall. The loose spikes of large reddish-purple tubular flowers are born in wave after wave from summer to fall on this new Agastache. Fragrant licorice scented foliage and the flowers are sure to attract Hummingbirds and Butterflies. Plant in mass for the best effect in a moist but well-drained fertile soil.
