Plant description

The contrast of the domed, beetroot-red and slender, upright lilac-blue wands creates a strong visual link. The bees will also love them...and flock to them from midsummer onwards.

What's included:

In this collection you will receive three of each of the following plants. They are all supplied in 9cm nursery pots:

  • Agastache 'Blue Fortune': Hyssops are great for adding vertical accents to a border, with whorls of long-lasting, tiny flowers arranged like a bottlebrush and pointed, aromatic fresh green leaves that are attractive to butterflies and bees. They are short-lived though, and may need replacing every few years, especially after a cold or wet winter. Blue Fortune has loose spires of lilac-blue flowers from July to October and peppermint-scented leaves. This upright, bushy perennial is perfect for the middle of a sheltered, sunny border. Try it as part of a Mediterranean scheme, with grey-leaved plants, or among ornamental grasses. Grows to 1m.

  • Angelica gigas: A stunning, architectural plant that adds height and drama to a border. Dome-shaped heads of plum-purple flowers appear on red-tinted stems in August and September and it has pretty, deeply cut leaves. Try it at the back of a sunny, herbaceous or mixed border, where the flowerheads will attract bees. It performs best in moist, fertile soil. This plant is monocarpic, so dies back after setting seed. Grows to 1.5m.

Planting tips:

Prepare the bed well by digging in lots of composted organic matter before you plant. For best results it is essential that the plants are kept well watered for the first year, particularly during warmer weather.

Please note:

The plants in this collection will die right back in autumn, then fresh new growth will appear again in spring.
