Agastache rugosa

Lamiaceae

Agastache rugosa

Habitat: sun or part shade Flowering: summer Height: 1 m Width: 50 cm Soil: any good garden soil

Despite its identity crisis, as this plant is known as Korean mint, Indian mint, blue licorice, purple giant hyssop and various other things, it is worthy perennial, flowering over a long period from early summer through into autumn. It has erect stems, carrying heads of many blue-purple flowers, opening in succession until the spike is 10 cm long. For good measure the leaves and flowers has a smell likened to both spearmint and licorice.
