Agastache rupestris
Rock Anise-hyssop |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.025.120
This terrific species is sometimes called Licorice or Rootbeer Plant, for the pleasantly fragrant silvery foliage. Plants form a bushy clump, bearing short spikes of salmon-orange flowers for months on end. Attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. This thrives in hot, sunny sites, and is also excellent in containers. Although native to the southwestern USA, plants are surprisingly hardy so long as the site is very well drained during the winter months. Remove faded flowers regularly so that new buds will form. Flowers are edible.
