Blue Boa Hyssop

Agastache 'Blue Boa'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: This is a showy, low-maintenance, clumping perennial. It provides a brilliant show of deep, violet-blue flowers which bloom June-September. Flower spikes bloom above the aromatic, green foliage. Well-drained soils are preferred.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
