Product Description
Agastache 'Blue Bayou' PPAF (30)ct Flat
Common Name: Anise Hyssop, Hummingbird Mint
Growers who have enjoyed the likes of 'Rosie Posie' and 'Peachie Keen' will enjoy the addition of 'Blue Bayou'. This variety matches the performance and hardiness of its predecessors but features a new indigo blue flower color. 'Blue Bayou' is quite compact, perfect for use in the front or middle of the border. In northern zones, it typically blooms from midsummer through early fall but in southern zones it starts blooming much earlier. Best in full sun with well drained soil.
Agastache are well-adapted to thrive in dry soils and is right at home in rock gardens and xeric container plantings where it will attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and honeybees. This is one of the easiest perennials to grow.
This is a great plant for hot, dry, sunny climates. Well-drained soil is a must, especially in the winter. This plant will not tolerate heavy clay soil but grows well in average to light soil with low to medium moisture levels. In the sandy soil of our zone 5b trial garden, this variety has overwintered with flying colors for the past two years. Even so, it's officially listed as a zone 6 perennial so some winter protection might be required in your zone. No serious pest or disease problems have been reported with this plant.
