Agastache FIESTA™ ‘Dark Blue’

Common Name:
Agastache FIESTA ‘Dark Blue’

Description:
Agastache FIESTA ‘Dark Blue’ is a compact and vibrant perennial prized for its dense spikes of deep purple-blue flowers and aromatic foliage. This hardy cultivar is part of the FIESTA™ series, bred for strong garden performance and a neat, uniform habit. Flowering from late spring through to autumn, it puts on a long and colourful show, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to the garden. Ideal for Melbourne conditions, ‘Dark Blue’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating periods of dryness once established. It’s particularly well-suited to cottage-style gardens, mixed borders, and pots where its fragrant, licorice-scented leaves and upright flower spikes add texture and movement. Regular deadheading encourages continual blooming and maintains its tidy shape throughout the growing season.
