Agastache 'Blue Fortune' - Two Planted IB2DWs - November 2023
Another day, another award-winning perennial that takes me outside my foliage-gardening comfort zone. This time, it is Agastache 'Blue Fortune'.

But, a quick spin online sold me on Blue Fortune. From Bluestone : Oodles of soft lavender-blue flowers are held over large deep-green, minty licorice-scented foliage. Unique bottle-brush like flowers of Agastache are very attractive. Leaves feature silver undersides. Exceptional performance in the sun-drenched garden.
