Agastache Blue Boa Selling Tips
Sell Agastache Blue Boa to your customers who are looking for a colorful, tall flower to attract pollinators. Homeowners often look for a low-maintenance addition to borders or cottage gardens. Agastache Blue Boa is a perfect choice because of its long bloom and drought tolerance.
Coach your customer:
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Agastache may develop root rot in soils that are too moist. Use gravel at the bottom of your planting hole to provide additional drainage, especially for overwintering.
Plant 16-20 inches apart.
Keep an eye out for rust or powdery mildew spots.
Consider companion planting with Geranium, Echinacea, and Black-eyed Susan.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
To achieve the best results with Agastache Blue Boa, use a well-drained soil in full sun and a pH between 5.5-6.5. Prune and feed with a 100-150 ppm slow-release fertilizer in spring prior to new growth. Plant 1 cutting per 4 inch pot or 1801. Agastache reaches 30-36 inches tall and should be spaced 16-20 inches apart in landscape applications. Root rot diseases can be a problem in poorly draining soil. Pests aren't a problem for Agastache, and diseases are unusual. Once established, Agastache is drought tolerant and low-maintenance.
Flowering
Agastache Blue Boa produces fragrant 5-inch tall violet-blue flower clusters June-September. Encourage continuous flowering by cutting spent blooms.
Pinching
Pinching at transplant may benefit growth.
Spacing
Space Agastache 16-20 inches apart in your landscape or garden.
Height Control
Agastache Blue Boa does not tend to stretch tall.
Pests
Agastache Blue Boa is not typically prone to any pests. It is deer and rabbit resistant.
Disease
Agastache is not prone to many diseases. Avoid root rot by planting in well-drained soil. Watch for rust, which may be indicated by yellowed and withering leaves. Rust should be treated by immediately removing the affected plant parts. For a rust infestation that continues to return, a preventative fungicide may be used when new growth begins in the Spring. Prevent rust from spreading by removing all diseased debris at the end of the season. Powdery mildew may also affect Agastache, but is unlikely to cause the plant to die. This fungus causes a grayish powder on the surface of leaves, and can be treated by removing affected plant parts and using a preventative fungicide.
Planting Agastache Blue Boa Liners
We recommend planting 1 starter plant per 4 inch pot or 1801. Use a well-drained soil in your pots and plant your starter plants deep, allowing the ellepot to be completely covered by the soil. Plant it directly in the middle of your pot.
Pinching at transplant may benefit growth.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
