Plant Details

A new and distinct cultivar from Darwin Perennials that is characterized by its medium violet-purple flowers, dark green foliage, and moderately vigorous, upright-mounded growth habit. In side-by-side comparisons with its cousin, Agastache ‘Black Adder’, A. ‘Little Adder’ sits a little lower in the perennial border and exhibited a better-branched habit.

The bonus of ‘Little Adder’ is the abundance of blooms—with three times the blooms of ‘Black Adder’ for three times the flower power—it’s safe to say pollinators will be very happy with the addition of this little gem in the landscape.
