Agastache 'Licorice Candy' (NEW!)

This perennial is a must-have for any garden, featuring stunningly bright rosy-purple flower spikes that bloom continuously from summer to fall, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators alike. Not only does it add to the beauty of any landscape, but its flowers and leaves are also edible, with a delightful sweet licorice flavor. Using the blooms can add a special touch in pretty fruit arrangements and salads or desserts! Or, simply enjoy them as a natural breath freshener when you're walking by.  The leaves can also be used in soups or as a tarragon substitute.

For best results, avoid pruning in the fall and instead wait until new growth emerges in mid-spring, then prune the old, woody growth down to about 6 inches above the ground. Adding a layer of fine gravel around the base in winter can prevent crown-rot and promote stronger growth in the spring.
