Agastache, commonly known as the Giant Hyssop, is a striking perennial that brings a touch of elegance to gardens with its tall stems and large, spherical clusters of blue flowers. The strap-like green foliage forms a lush base, making it an excellent choice for borders, beds, and containers. Its impressive floral display and architectural form add both colour and structure to outdoor spaces.

This hardy perennial is also drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance addition to various garden settings.
Ideal for gardeners seeking long-lasting summer colour, Agapanthus can be grown in patio pots or directly in garden beds. The vibrant blue flowers are not only visually appealing but also attract pollinators, supporting local biodiversity.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
