Anise Hyssop (Agastache Kudos™) 'Silver Blue' was covered in pollinators at the nursery. In fact, the pollinators selected it for me, as it was the hummingest perennial there! When I took it off the table, one particularly bold bumblebee continued to cling to his favored blossom, and stayed there till I was halfway to the cash register. When I got the plant home, a bumblebee found it and begin sipping nectar as I was carrying it from the car to its planting site. While planting it, my main problem was staying out of the way of eager pollinators buzzing excitedly, waiting to land on it. All of my Agastache are pollinator magnets, and it is one of the reasons I love the plant so much, but Kudos 'Silver Blue' is a truly impressive hit with them. It is definitely a noteworthy addition to my bee and butterfly garden.

Agastache Kudos™ Silver Blue is a 2013 introduction by Terra Nova Nurseries.

It's the fourth Agastache in the Kudos series and after looking at the pics, I think it's beautiful.
