Agastache Astello Indigo
Foliage Smells Like Root Beer!
At last, an Agastache you can grow in flowerpots on the patio! Astello Indigo is just about the most exciting breakthrough in the Hummingbird Mint family yet, and it's got the award to prove it -- Europe's coveted Fleuroselect Gold Medal!
This beautiful deep blue Hummingbird Mint is just 20 inches high and 14 inches wide, yet it covers itself in tall spikes from midsummer through mid-fall. Wonderfully mint-scented and irresistible to butterflies and bees, the spikes are very long-lasting, ideal for display in the garden or in the vase.
And even when it's not blooming, Astello Indigo is attractive, with deep green foliage that smells rather like root beer. Very noticeable in the border or on the patio, it's a carefree joy of a perennial from spring through fall!
Astello Indigo offers disease-free foliage that remains healthy all season. Deer, rabbits, and other nibbling creatures leave it alone, so the plant keeps its dome shape and full, rich foliage right through the worst summer heat and humidity.
In Europe, Astello Indigo performed very well in cooler and temperate climates, while also thriving in the hotter areas where Agastache always does well. We give it our highest recommendation, and urge you to transform your patio with fragrance this season with Astello Indigo! Zones 6-9.
