General Culture:

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Best in full sun. Performs poorly and may not survive winter in unamended clay soils. Drought and heat tolerant once established. May be grown from seed and will self-seed in the garden.

Noteworthy Characteristics:

‘Honey Bee Blue’ features intense blue flowers and aromatic gray-green foliage. Sweetly fragrant, tubular flowers in whorls bloom on erect, salvia-like spikes atop stems typically growing to 24-36” tall. Flowers appear over a long summer bloom period. Agastache comes from the Greek words for “much” (agan) and “grain stalk” (stachys) in reference to the flower spikes. Flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies. Leaves may be used fresh or dry to flavor teas.
