Agastache mexicana 'Balsumlem' | Summerlong Lemon Mexican Giant Hyssop
DESCRIPTION
Agastache mexicana 'Balsumlem' is a long-blooming perennial that produces dense spikes of soft yellow flowers from early summer through fall. The tubular blossoms emerge in pale lemon tones, contrasting against the plant’s deep green, aromatic foliage.

Compared to other Agastache mexicana varieties, 'Balsumlem' stands out for its soft yellow bloom color and extended flowering period.
