Product description
Agastache 'Beelicious Purple' is an extremely attractive bushy and compact shrub with light green foliage and long stems that produce large purple flowers that bloom around June and last until late October. These plants are perfect for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies in abundance, ideal for a patio container or just a small shrub at the front of the garden. Agastache prefer fully sunny positions and will thrive in most types of soil, provided it is well drained, it is also best practice to cut back the faded slower stems in early spring, as they still provide some interest in the winter months.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Ongoing plant maintenance within our nursery is essential, meaning some lines are pruned back at certain times of the year to encourage new growth.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
As a member of the Mint plant family, agastache leaves can be used to make teas or to add flavour to salads, pork, and rice dishes.
How to Water
Water regularly until established then as required during dry spells. Container-grown agastaches need to be watered more frequently to prevent the soil from drying out.
How to Plant
Clear the area of weeds and dig a hole 3 times the size of the root ball, using a fork to loosen the soil and add some organic matter. When positioning the plant in the hole, ensure the top of the root ball is at soil level. Backfill with soil, gently firming down as you go and water in well before mulching with more organic matter.
