Online price only.

Korean agastache is an elegant, fragrant perennial that brings a floriferous, aromatic, and deeply vibrant presence to the garden. From midsummer on, its upright spikes in shades of purple to blue irresistibly attract bees, hummingbirds, and a host of pollinators, transforming flowerbeds into buzzing scenes. Its foliage emits a remarkable scent of mint, anise, and licorice, making it a plant as interesting to brush against as it is to behold. Well-branched, it adds structure to borders while maintaining a supple, natural look, ideal for both edible and ornamental gardens. Its leaves and flower buds also add an original touch to cuisine, where their sweet flavor perfumes infusions, salads, and delicate preparations. Easy to integrate into well-drained soil and a bright location, it thrives generously while requiring relatively little maintenance once established. In containers as well as in the ground, it brings height, fragrance, and movement with beautiful seasonal consistency. Growing Korean agastache means inviting a refined, melliferous, and versatile plant into the garden, combining beauty, biodiversity, and sensory pleasure.
