Agastache Little Adder

Dwarf Licorice Mint Little Adder A refined and compact selection of Liquorice Mint, 'Little Adder' is prized for its prolific blooming habit and exceptionally neat, mounded form. From early Summer through to the first frosts, this dwarf perennial produces a continuous abundance of slender, violet-blue flower spikes. Because it is a sterile hybrid, it focuses all its energy into floral production rather than seed, ensuring a dense and long-lasting display that remains vibrant for months. The deep green, serrated foliage is highly aromatic, releasing a sweet aniseed fragrance whenever it is brushed against. Perfectly proportioned for the front of a sunny border or decorative patio containers, it is a key inclusion on the RHS Plants for Pollinators list. This drought-tolerant variety maintains a sturdy, upright shape without the need for staking, providing a rich and reliable nectar source for bees and butterflies in even the smallest garden spaces.
