Notes

'Blue Boa' Bill Williams Mountain giant hyssop (Agastache 'Blue Boa') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. The violet blue flowers are fragrant and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The plant also tolerates drought.

Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Delphinium, and Black Baccara rose.
