'Blue Boa' Hummingbird mint Agastache hybrid

I was creating a small pollinator garden this year in NJ, but didn’t start until a new patio was installed (July 2020). It fared well, but recently (early September 2020) it took off. It’s tripled in size. The blooms are a great color and it is definitely a favorite of the pollinators, only second to my orange milkweed. While I haven’t seen any hummingbirds, it attracts hummingbird moths, which I never saw before.

I ordered two and Proven Winners sent them late April. I immediately planted both per their instructions (gravel at the bottom, sunny/well-draining soil spot) and the plants grew fast, big and strong, blooming non-stop, still. I did/do deadhead and prune every few weeks and the plant responds with new shoots and flowers. The bees love it, as do the hummingbirds. I planted other 3 other, different agastache hybrids, (and 1 native giant hyssop - which has been thriving) and the blue boa has the most vigor of the five, and is the most preferred by the bees and hummingbirds.
