Quick to bloom from seed, this native agastache's bright violet-pink flower wands attract hummingbirds as soon as the first bloom opens. The narrow gray-green foliage is deliciously anise-scented, and both flower petals and leaves are edible. Wonderful in a container where freely-draining soils are scarce.
A hummingbird magnet!
