Agastache 'Blue Boa' (Blue Boa Hummingbird Mint) 1 qt
This hummingbird mint is loved for the exceptionally long bloom time of its stiff, deep violet-blue bottlebrush flowers (deadhead for additional blooms!) and fragrant "licorice mint" foliage. As with all Agastaches, it will bring in all the pollinators from summer to early fall and support beneficial insects and songbirds over winter with its seedheads.
Let stems persist over winter, and remove new growth in early to mid-spring for more flowering stems and a more compact plant. A medium-height Agastache, this cultivar grows 2-3 ft. tall x ~12-18 in. wide.
Plant in a sunny spot with good drainage; avoid overwatering while establishing — these are very drought tolerant and a little dryness promotes stronger stem growth.
