I say, “Yes, please!” to this tidy, showy hummingbird plant! Densely flowering & dense in habit, this long-blooming Agastache adds plenty of pinky purple color to the hot Summer garden, attracting hummingbird friends & butterflies the whole Summer through! All parts of the plant are scented (some noses call it bubblegum, others licorice.) ‘Purple Pygmy’ grows to a mere 16” high & wide. Happy plants can flower so profusely that the leaves are obscured! Average soil is just fine – good drainage is the plant’s preference, but if you don’t water too heavily you’ll be golden.
