About this plant

Blue Fortune Hyssop is a long-blooming perennial that produces lavender-blue bottlebrush flower spikes in full sun from midsummer through fall. Gardeners in Yarmouth prize this hybrid for its exceptional drought tolerance and irresistible appeal to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. The aromatic foliage releases a pleasant anise scent when brushed or crushed. This robust selection tolerates heat and humidity better than many agastaches while remaining reliably winter-hardy in Zone 5.
