Product Description
Mr Fothergill’s Agastache Astello Indigo (A. hybrida) is a compact and floriferous hardy perennial that produces a profusion of bold blue flower spikes. Reaching around 50cm (20in) in height, this rounded variety is ideal for adding vibrant colour and structure to bedding schemes, borders and patio containers.
When sown early, Astello Indigo flowers in its first year, delivering long-lasting blooms from June to October. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this versatile plant can also be grown as an annual in cooler regions.
