This perennial paints your garden with the fiery intensity of an enduring romance, with long-blooming spikes of magenta-purple flowers erupting from early summer until autumn's first embrace. Standing proud at 30-36 inches tall, Summer Love forms a graceful clump, its aromatic, mint-scented foliage like a cool sigh amidst the vibrant blooms.
But Summer Love's passion burns bright even in the face of adversity. Sun and well-drained soil are all it asks for, flourishing in even the hottest summers and shrugging off drought with the confidence of a seasoned love. Deer and rabbits find its fiery charm untasteful, leaving your precious plants untouched.
This versatile beauty adds drama to any scene. Imagine it gracing the borders and beds, its blooms echoing the intensity of an evening sunset. Picture it adding a touch of wild romance to your cottage garden, or bringing a vibrant accent to containers on your sun-drenched patio. For the adventurous cook, its anise-flavored leaves offer a unique twist to teas and culinary creations.
Caring for Summer Love is as effortless as its beauty. Water deeply while young, then let its fiery spirit take over. A quick pinch of spent blooms keeps the passion burning, and a light trim in late fall or early spring ensures its return year after year.
So, invite Summer Love Agastache into your garden and let its vibrant heart set your landscapes ablaze. Watch as hummingbirds and butterflies flock to its nectar-rich embrace, their wings weaving through the magenta haze. This low-maintenance charmer, with its drought-defying spirit and pollinator-loving nature, promises to paint your garden with the passionate hues of a summer love story, one bloom at a time.
