Like most Agastaches, ‘Black Adder’ is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant pollinator magnet. What sets it apart are the large bottlebrush terminal spikes packed with fragrant flowers. Long blooming, its spikey flowers add color, fragrance, and spunky texture to a garden setting. Blue-green foliage adds a lovely anise scent as well. A cross between A. rugosa and A. foeniculum, 'Black Adder' attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Drought and heat-tolerant once established, plant en masse or mix into a perennial bed or rock garden, where it will flower from summer to fall, an excellent choice for late-season color. They make nice cut and dried flowers as well.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
