Agastache rugosa 'Alabaster' - 2026

Agastache rugosa 'Alabaster' is a striking perennial renowned for its tall, upright spikes of pure white flowers that bloom from midsummer to early autumn. Its aromatic foliage adds texture and fragrance to borders and containers, while attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. The soft, elongated leaves provide an attractive backdrop to the floral display, and their scent can add a subtle herbal note when brushed against. 'Alabaster' maintains a tidy clump-forming habit, ensuring a well-structured presence in any garden setting. It is equally effective when planted in mixed borders, cottage gardens, or herbaceous beds, bringing brightness and elegance.

This hardy plant thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established, offering long-lasting colour and interest throughout the summer and early autumn months. Minimal maintenance is required, although deadheading spent flowers can encourage further bloom and prolong its visual appeal. Agastache rugosa 'Alabaster' is also deer-resistant, making it suitable for gardens where wildlife browsing is a concern. With its combination of beauty, fragrance, and pollinator value, it is a versatile choice for gardeners seeking both style and ecological benefit.
