Agastache Seeds – Liquorice Blue
 £1.99
This first-class variety produces attractive, upright spikes of hooded rose-purple blooms that are a magnet for bees and butterflies. Flowers June-September. Height 60cm (24). Middle of border variety. HP – Hardy perennial.

 An absolutely lovely plant. A friend grew some from seed this year and bought me a pot of it down. Within a minute there was a bee on it exploring it’s delicious nectar. There’s a lovely smell to the plant too. He’s suggested cutting the flowers off and drying them as pot pourri!
Add this to your garden and you’re guaranteed to enjoy both beautiful flowers and more pollinating insects! As with most bee friendly plants it’ll prefer a place in full sun!
