Agastache 'Blue Fortune'
Choose Blue Fortune Anise Hyssop for a tall, easy-care pollinator magnet in a sunny border. Its lavender-blue flower spikes bloom from midsummer into fall over licorice-scented foliage, drawing bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. The tradeoff is that it wants full sun and sharp drainage, so it struggles in shade or wet soil.
Buy This If
- You want long summer-into-fall bloom.
- You want a strong pollinator plant.
- Your site is sunny and well-drained.
Skip This If
- Your bed gets under 6 hours of sun.
- Your soil stays wet.
- You want a short, tidy edger.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Its airy lavender-blue spikes read well in a border, especially planted in groups. |
| Growth Rate | B | It establishes at a steady pace and returns dependably each year. |
| Maintenance | A- | It is low-maintenance in the right spot; just give it sun, drainage, and a spring cutback. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It works in mid-size beds but reaches 2 to 3 feet, so give it room. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a flowering perennial, not a screening plant. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Blue Fortune Anise Hyssop for hot, sunny borders where a customer wants months of bloom and heavy pollinator traffic. Give it drainage, avoid wet feet, and cut it back in early spring.
