ëHoney Bee Blue features intense blue flowers and aromatic gray-green foliage. Sweetly fragrant, tubular flowers in whorls bloom on erect, salvia-like spikes atop stems typically growing to 24-36î tall. Flowers appear over a long summer bloom period. Agastache comes from the Greek words for ìmuchî (agan) and ìgrain stalkî (stachys) in reference to the flower spikes. Flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies. Leaves may be used fresh or dry to flavor teas.
