Hyssop - Summer Love
Hyssop Summer Love, Agastache 'Summer Love' PPAF, is a sensational new perennial that you will fall in love with as soon as you see its clustered flowers! From summer through fall, a profusion of reddish-purple flower clusters are displayed above the foliage on strong spikes. 'Summer Love' PPAF is a drought tolerant perennial that thrives in any well drained soil and is the perfect plant for a hummingbird garden. Its foliage smells distinctly like black licorice when crushed, thus its common name, Anise Hyssop.  If you'd like to restrict the height of this tall perennial, pinch back its blue-green foliage in spring before the flower buds are formed.  It prefers well-drained soil and needs full sun to light shade and dry to medium soil.  Peak bloom occurs in midsummer and provides a real summer treat for hummingbirds and butterflies. This wonderful reddish-purple 'Summer Love' hyssop is useful for adding a spot of color to the garden late in the season, especially when many other plants begin to fade! * Drought tolerant * Long blooming * Easy to grow
