USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
36" tall x 18" wide. Agastache 'Blue Fortune', an introduction from
Europe, is proving to be a robust, nonstop bloomer! Blue Fortune Hybrid
Hyssop's husky 5" long flower spikes are a mesmerizing powder blue. The
large green leaves are striking with their silver undersides. Later in
the season, as the plant matures, it develops a light mint scent to the
flowers. Like Korean Hyssop, this cultivar will also perform well
outside of the West in the wetter winter climates of the Midwest and
East. Try Agastache 'Blue Fortune' together with Salvia Maraschino.
(Cutting propagated) Long blooming. No deadheading needed; Cut back in
mid-spring to a height of 3-4".

Agastache are sun loving plants with aromatic foliage and flowers. They bloom from mid-summer into early fall and are resistant to rabbits and deer.
Agastache need lean, well-drained soils, prefer gravel mulches, and appreciate deep but infrequent watering after their second growing season
Provide a fast draining soil that's naturally low in fertility, Don't plant into clay soils.
Plant in full hot sun.
Just a few handfuls of compost in the planting hole is enough. Don't plant into a rich, highly amended soil..
Fertilize the Agastache just once in fall with Yum Yum Mix.
New transplants need regular irrigation their first growing season to establish themselves. Watering can be reduced greatly during the second growing season when the plants have matured.
To improve winter-hardiness, and encourage re-seeding, leave the stems intact over the winter. In mid-spring, remove old stems just above the new foliage, about 4 or 5 inches above ground level.
If your conditions don't lend themselves to growing Agastache in your garden, they do well planted in containers.
