    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Tutti Frutti is a vigorous and free flowering Hummingbird Mint producing spikes of purple calyxes from which purplish-pink to pink tubular flowers emerge from late spring often well into fall. If it gets too wispy give it a trim and it'll quickly recover and return to flowering. Fragrant lemony scented foliage. Attracts Hummingbirds and Butterflies! Plant in mass for the best effect in a moist but well-drained fertile soil.

    Flowers described as raspberry purple, lavender-pink or rose-lilac! They are just gorgeous. Blooms for months. HIGHLY ORNAMENTAL. A focal point plant with stiff, purple stems. Fragrant lemon scent w/ hints of other fruits. A hybrid of A. barberi (A. pallida) and A. mexicana. This plant is just a really, really big bloomer!

    Tall spires of raspberry-purple will grace the garden border with this perennial herb. Growing to 2 feet, its strongly aromatic foliage is an added bonus to the adventurous gardener.

    Hardy in zone 6 when grown in sandy poor soil, this selection of Hyssop blooms merrily from mid summer onward. Be sure to keep the soil lean and the plant will be all the sturdier for it. Smells like the gum. 3'.
