Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Little Adder' is a dwarf form of one of the best of all the purple-blue Agastache: 'Black Adder'. 'Little Adder' is a very compact, well-branched, bushy perennial with fragrant green foliage and lavender-blue tubular flowers that emerge from purple-blue sepals all summer into fall.

More compact than Black Adder and Blue Fortune Agastache with up to twice the flower power! Little Adder Agastache was selected for its exceptional flower power and its compact rounded to upright habit that lend it to use in the garden, landscape, and definitely containers. The waves of small purple tubular flowers crammed into dense deep purple spikes attract a myriad of pollinators from late spring to fall including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Provide a well drained sunny sight with good air circulation for the best results.
