Plant in containers to enjoy this plant in the eastern U.S. Exclusive. 24-26" tall x 24-28" wide.
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).
Agastache rupestris 'Glowing Embers®' (Hummingbird Mint) will remind you of watching the shimmer of glowing embers in a campfire--these are the shades of
smoldering orange-red colors you'll find in the flower spikes of Blooming
from mid-summer into early fall, this gorgeous selection is both aromatic
(with its spicy licorice-mint scent) and spectacular. Hummingbirds adore the
nectar-rich flowers which contrast beautifully with the thin, fine textured
pewter-gray foliage. Glowing Embers was originally selected by High Country
Garden's Chief Horticulturist, David Salman from a large group of plants
grown from seed collected in its Grant Co., NM habitat.

High Country Gardens Exclusive, High Country Gardens Introduction
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.
