Famed for its ferny blue-green foliage that's burnished with chocolate overtones, this superb new cultivar produces a lavish plethora of egg-shaped brunette-tinged maroon flowers. The dense chubby blooms uniquely open from the bottom up, while perched on firm slender branching stems. 'Chocolate Tip' brings a buoyant stance and dark saturated hues to the colorful blooms of Agastache 'Bolero' and Aster 'Harrington's Pink' in our border.
