The Agastache rugosa 'Liquorice Blue' BIO is grown in an environmentally friendly way. This means no artificial pesticides or chemical fertilizers, just healthy soil and natural growth. This not only makes the plant better for the environment but also stronger, healthier, and more attractive to pollinators such as bees, bumblebees, and butterflies.
By choosing organic plants, you help maintain biodiversity in your garden and contribute to a healthier ecosystem. The organic licorice plant is not only beautiful but also consciously sustainable.
This perennial belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is related to mint, lavender, and sage. It forms sturdy, upright stems with dark green, aromatic leaves that smell of anise.
From July to October, Agastache rugosa 'Liquorice Blue' BIO blooms profusely with lavender-blue flower spikes that continually attract new insects. Its long flowering period makes this plant an indispensable nectar source for pollinators in late summer.
Key Features:
Height: 60 – 90 cm
Flowering period: July – October
Flower color: lavender blue
Location: sunny and warm
Soil: well-drained, moderately fertile
Winter hardiness: fair, with light protection
The Agastache rugosa 'Liquorice Blue' BIO loves the sun and thrives in light, dry to moderately moist soil. In full sun, the plant develops its strongest fragrance and blooms most profusely. Overly wet soil in winter can cause root rot, so ensure good drainage.
After flowering, you can cut back the spent flower spikes to encourage new blooms. It's best to leave the stems in place over winter; they protect the plant and provide shelter for insects. In early spring, you can then prune them back to just above the ground.
Care tips:
Provide extra water during dry periods.
Remove faded flowers for longer flowering.
Use a layer of mulch to retain moisture and protect the soil.
Ideal planting distance: 30–40 cm.
The organic Agastache rugosa 'Liquorice Blue' is versatile. It's perfect for bee- or butterfly-friendly gardens, as well as Mediterranean, prairie, or herb gardens. Combine it with Echinacea, Nepeta, Salvia, Lavender, or ornamental grasses for a harmonious and colorful ensemble.
The drop plant BIO also does well in pots on the patio or balcony – as long as the pot has sufficient drainage holes.
What makes the Agastache rugosa 'Liquorice Blue' BIO extra special is that it's edible. The leaves and flowers have a delicious licorice or anise flavor and can be used in herbal teas, desserts, salads, or as a garnish. Because it's grown organically, the plant is completely safe for use in cooking.
In addition, the leaves can be dried for fragrant potpourri or herbal tea, so that the summer scent of the garden is preserved all year round.
