Fragrant, hardy perennial - Agastache rugosa 'Black Adder'
Agastache rugosa 'Black Adder', also known as scented nettle, is an impressive, aromatic perennial that provides long-lasting blooms from June to October with its eye-catching dark purple flower spikes. Its fragrant, spicy foliage exudes a pleasant aniseed-mint scent, making it a popular choice for natural gardens.
The fragrant nettle is hardy and thrives best in full sun on well-drained, rather dry soil. It is particularly bee and butterfly friendly and attracts a variety of pollinators. With its elegant, upright growth habit, it is ideal for flower beds, prairie gardens or as a structural plant in herbaceous borders. Pruning in late fall or early spring promotes vigorous new growth and prolongs the flowering period.
