Sonoran Sunset Hyssop
Sonoran Sunset is a selection of a native perennial flower that grows in New Mexico and Texas. It is wonderfully adapted to hot, dry locations.
The leaves are intensely fragrant and has large deep pink flowers on a compact plant. This is an excellent plant to attract hummingbirds and hawk moths to your yard.
Compared to many other hyssops, Sonoran Sunset has showier flowers. It blooms longer and earlier, too.
In Colorado Springs, its winter survivability is not as reliable as sunset hyssop, Agastache rupestris.
