Giant Hyssop

A brightly colored North American native hybrid and favorite of pollinators. 'Guava Lava' begins bloom in the heat of the summer and continues for many weeks. Coral orange flowers are held on equally colorful mauve pink calyxes. Even after the flower has finished, the calyxes remain attractive. Varieties bred here at Walters Gardens have proven to be notably hardy, particularly when sited in loose soils with good drainage.

Agastache are well-adapted to thrive in dry soils and is right at home in rock gardens and xeric container plantings where it will attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and honeybees. This is one of the easiest perennials to grow.
