Meant to Bee^® 'Royal Raspberry' Anise Hyssop Agastache hybrid

I purchased this plant last August around my birthday and was impressed right away. It was in bloom when I planted it and stayed blooming all the way into December before it stopped. Even with the rare snow we had this winter in South Georgia this hyssop only died back a little. New growth began in late February and I can’t wait to see how it does with a full year of growth in my mailbox bed. The variations in the color of the foliage make this hyssop interesting to look at even when it’s not in bloom. When in bloom the neon pink color pops in the flower bed and the pollinators love it especially the bees. I highly recommend getting you one.

So gorgeous I had to buy two! They both survived the winter, but unfortunately the foliage came back a plain green and I specifically purchased it for it's lovely blue green color- now it just blends in with the other plants :/

This is a showstopper of a plant! We bought two last year and they bloomed their absolute heads off. Every time we thought they must be finished, they started up again. Our odd, too-warm winter followed by harsh late frosts killed one of them--we're outside the official zone range in any case--but the other is gorgeously gearing up for summer flowering and we're definitely buying two more. I would cheerfully buy this plant fresh every spring; it's worth it. We put it up against some violet-blue salvia and some purple summer alliums and the three of them together were a knockout from July through September--and the salvia and agastache on though October, too!

This plant is a stunner! Even in a busy bed full of flowering perennials, there’s no question that this one is the star of the show. The colourful calyxes make such a difference, and the bronze-blue foliage is also a wonderful addition to the bed. Highly recommend.

I purchased 5 quart-sized Meant to Bee Royal Raspberry online last October. These are advertised as a Zone 5-9, and I'm in Zone 10a (Southwest Florida), so I knew I was taking a bit of a gamble - but they were too pretty to pass up! Planted in one of my front garden beds that gets 6+ hours of full sun each day and they thrived with very little attention (just a slow-release fertilizer on planting and supplemental water when they needed it). In a matter of months, they grew to nice 2x2 foot plants and the bees LOVE them. They're a beautiful cool-toned pink, and even the spent flowers look lovely. Will definitely be looking for more places to plant these around my home.
