'Little Adder' Hyssop brings long lasting, purple flower spikes to the garden throughout the summer season, attracting plentiful butterflies, bumblebees and hummingbirds.. A compact plant with vigorous blooms, this one produces more flowers then most hyssops (also called Agastache). A great choice for containers. (Hyssop)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(15-18" tall x 18-24" wide) Little Adder has wonderfully vibrant and spiky purple blooms. The foliage of the plant is licorice scented, great to deter deer and is often dried for its fragrance. Also known as Hyssop or Hummingbird Mint, Agastache is the perfect plant for a sunny border or container. It’s beautiful, long-lasting blooms attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Agastache is considered drought tolerant once it’s establish. (Agastache)
