Agastache 'Blue Fortune'

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Agastache prefers a spot with plenty of warmth and hates sitting in wet over winter, so add grit if planting in heavier soils or containers. Once established, it’s drought tolerant and requires little maintenance beyond a spring tidy-up. Avoid cutting back in autumn to help the crown survive colder winters – the seed heads also add structure and interest in the off-season.

Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’ works beautifully in prairie-style schemes, mixed perennial borders, or large containers. It combines especially well with ornamental grasses, Achillea, Echinacea, and Salvia. Try it in a pot near a seating area to enjoy its scent and the wildlife it attracts. Its soft lavender-blue tones also make it a great foil for brighter summer perennials.
