Description:
'Blue Fortune' is an award-winning plant for good reason: it offers a long season of bloom from midsummer to early fall with lavender blue, bottlebrush-like flowers on strong, upright stems. The foliage smells distinctly like black licorice when crushed and can be used in salads. A hybrid between the North American A. foeniculum and the Asian A. rugosa.
