Notes

'Summer Love' Bill Williams Mountain giant hyssop (Agastache 'Summer Love') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Its reddish-purple flowers bloom from early to late summer and again in early autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Blanket flower, Hollyhock, and Queen of Night tulip.
