Black Adder Hummingbird Mint

Black Adder hummingbird mint is a striking perennial valued for its bold flower spikes, rich color, and exceptional pollinator appeal. From midsummer into fall, it produces tall, upright stems topped with dense clusters of deep violet-blue blooms that gradually fade to smoky purple, creating a beautiful two-tone effect. Its narrow, aromatic foliage adds extra interest, releasing a pleasant, minty fragrance when brushed. Typically growing 2 to 3 feet tall and about as wide, Black Adder forms a tidy, bushy clump that fits well in mixed borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings. True to its name, it attracts hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees in abundance.
