Agastache ‘Blue Fortune’ P11x11

This popular cultivar was created by crossing the North American Agastache foeniculum and the East Asian A. rugosa. The plants are notable for their sturdy, densely leafed stems and fragrant leaves. The most striking feature, however, is the spike-like inflorescence of light blue-purple color, which is also very attractive to butterflies, bees, and other insects. The main flowering period is July and the beginning of August. When the faded inflorescences are removed, it willingly repeats blooming even at the beginning of autumn.

It grows best in a sunny location, in permeable, rather lighter soil, where there is no long-term stagnation of moisture. In the conditions of the Czech Republic, it is a relatively reliably winter-hardy species. Deeper frosts can be limiting as they may damage budding shoots. After planting, it usually lasts 3-5 years.
