Agastache
Lovers of heat, these tough and drought-resistant Mint family relatives guarantee terminal spikes adorned with brightly colored, tubular flowers just about all summer long. Agastaches are easily grown in well-drained soil, and will bloom more profusely, over an even longer period of time, if the flowering stems are cut back midseason.
Selected by Tina Moeller in Aabybro, Denmark, this dazzling new Agastache ‘Blue Boa’ descendant struts substantial fast-growing upright stalks that are taller than its parent coupled with long-lasting plentiful reddish purple flowers, which are nearly the same color as ‘Rosie Posie’s, but much larger. Copious violet buds and dark calyces enhance the pollinator-friendly profusion of brilliant candle-like blooms, while tasteful lanceolate bright green leaves emit a pleasant licorice whiff. Appreciating protection from wet winter feet plus spring cut backs rather than fall ones, ‘Danish Delight’ energizes any well-drained, somewhat lean nook. (pp# 33,647)
