Peachie Keen Hummingbird Mint – Agastache – Anise Hyssop – Hardy – Quart Pot

Aromatic, bright-green foliage is covered with terminal spikes of small, apricot- peach colored, tubular flowers, each emerging from a contrasting darker purple-pink calyx. Blooming nonstop from mid-summer until first frost. Agastache, commonly known as giant hyssop, is a genus native to North America. It is easily grown in average, well-drained soils, and good soil drainage is essential. Established plants will tolerate heat and dry soil. Agastache hybrids often have showier flowers and better winter hardiness than species plants. Hybrids typically bloom from mid-summer to fall. Flowers are attractive to bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. We recommend giant hyssop for planting in sunny borders, cottage gardens and butterfly gardens.

Agastache are equally good in the border, and as a candidate for container growing. The better the drainage the happier the plant. Scented foliage is good for flavoring drinks and drying. Good drainage is a must! Agastache thrive in full sun and rarely need divided. Most will self sow to spread, so deadhead by removing faded flowers to prevent seeding. Leave stems to overwinter; tip or remove new growth in early to mid spring for more flowering stems and a more compact plant. To promote strong stems avoid too much water and fertilize only once a year in fall.
