The Giant Hyssop, Agastache 'Summer Glow' is a herbaceous perennial with an attractive colour scheme of yellow and purple. It produces tall slender stems clothed with dozens of purple calyces that each hold a tubular yellow flower that bees and other insects will love.

Agastache is easy to grow and maintain with the added bonus of being drought tolerant and with those striking good looks it's perfect for an exotic or cottage garden setting. Height: 60cm (24). Spread: 45cm (18).
Dwarf growing variety that makes large heads of florets. This easy-to-grow variety can be sown and harvested all year round, overwinter in coldframes for summer crops. Height: 60cm (24). Spread: 75cm (30).
