Description

Agastache rugosa 'Little Adder' PP26,514 is a compact, well-branched anise hyssop and the smaller relative of the well-known 'Black Adder'. Its numerous flower spikes bear violet-blue to lavender-violet tubular flowers; darker violet buds and calyces create the characteristic two-tone appearance.

The flowers are readily visited by insects. The aromatic foliage complements the long summer-to-autumn flowering period. A well-drained position is important for reliable overwintering.
