Agastache barberi 'Tuitti Fruitti'

[ height 4-6 ft., flower pink-lavender, sun, clump former ]

ANISE HYSSOP A. ‘Tuitti Fruitti’- The Hyssop’s, seducers of hummingbirds and gardeners alike.  Perhaps you have tried these finicky plants, promised with a zone 6 hardiness, only to have them disappear after a season or two.  Well, ‘Tuitti Fruitti’ is no different.  Although its aversion to our neck of the woods is not the temperatures, but the heavy winter wet soils.  So, with reasonable expectations, proper soil preparation and a statue of  Saint Fiacre placed near by, ‘Tuitti Fruitti’ can be a wonderful addition to the full sun border.
