Transplant seedlings to a sunny, well-drained position once large enough to handle, spacing 30–45 cm apart. Blue Hyssop thrives in full sun and tolerates dry conditions well once established. Cut back after flowering to encourage a second flush and prevent excessive self-seeding. A short-lived perennial that self-seeds freely in warm NZ gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e10 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Agastache foeniculum (Blue Hyssop). \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45028409671749,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_7eda20f2-ea11-4cc6-bf28-d6941835d259.png?v=1779079303","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/blue-hyssop-seeds-agastache-foeniculum","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
