| Agastache has never had it so good! Golden Jubilee sports deep yellow to chartreuse foliage, a heavenly mint scent, and big purple bloomspikes from midsummer into fall. Best of all, it blooms the first year from seed! No wonder this humble American native plant was considered worthy to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. It's pure royalty in a down-home package! The foliage keeps its unique color all season, and will come true from seed -- no green variations! Wonderfully redolent of licorice, it perfumes the entire garden over a long season. Hot weather intensifies the scent, turning your backyard into a fragrant meadowland with even a small planting! As if this weren't enough, Golden Jubilee also sends up fat 4-inch spikes studded with purple blooms over a long midsummer-to-fall season. Nice for cutting and irresistible to bees, butterflies, and birds, these blooms crown the 20-inch-tall, 12-inch-wide plants majestically. Golden Jubilee is a perennial, hardy in zones 6-10 and worthy of being grown as an annual farther north. It blooms generously from a first-year planting, so no matter where you live, you can enjoy the lovely foliage and enticing blooms of this American classic! Try a ribbon of golden color through the border or bed, or dot it around the patio garden, where it will share its scent generously with less fortunate flowering plants! Sow these seeds outdoors in early spring, or start seeds ahead of time indoors for earlier blooms. Easy, adaptable, and very vigorous in any sunny spot! Pkt is 20 seeds. |
