• Agastache 'Blue Blazes' (Hummingbird Mint) is a large growing native hybrid with lavender-purple flower spikes blooming from mid-summer to fall
• Long-blooming flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees making it an essential perennial for pollinators
• Striking flowers are showy and fragrant, making a beautiful addition to any garden
• Drought resistant/drought tolerant plant (xeric)
"I have grown a lot of plants. This is one of my all time favorites. It’s easy to grow, can be transplanted, water-wise, attracts pollinators in droves and it looks amazing for months on end. There are so many blooms and the mauve-colored calyxes really make it work overtime. I have four planted under a honey locust so the have dappled shade and tree root competition and they still do fantastic there."
— Dedgy (5/5)
We love this plant!
"Blue Blazes is the star of our mostly-native pollinator garden. It blooms for months, from mid-summer until the frost, and its height and color create a beautiful focus for the garden as other plants go in and out of bloom. Other than making sure it didn't dry out in its first summer, and cutting down overwintered stems just before spring, it has required no care from us for several years. Bees absolutely love this plant. Here in Chicagoland we regularly see three or four species buzzing around its flowers in the mornings (possibly more; I'm not an entomologist), and some butterflies as well."
— Alex (5/5)
I love this plant and all plants from High Country Gardens!
"We completely transformed our front yard into a pollinator sanctuary with plants from High Country Gardens. The agastache smells so good and I've never seen so many different kinds of pollinators! We are even getting hummingbirds! The neighbors like to stop by and the kids are always curious about what's blooming and buzzing. They are beautiful as cut flowers and we save tremendous amounts of water!"

Very healthy Blue Boa plant!
"I'm using Blue Boa in the middle of one of my flower beds. The plant is very healthy and doing well."
— Janice (5/5)
Healthy looking plant!
"Great looking plant. Appears it was so big they had to trim it in order to ship!"
— Hailey (5/5)
Blooming first year
"Planted this in early spring and it's a loose 3x3 ft. With plenty of blooms in August. Hummingbirds have been visiting. My dog took out one of these soon after planting in early spring but it came back a month later so don't lose all hope if you have a canine catastrophe."

Blue Blazes
"The blue blazers is growing and doing fantastic. It is five or six feet tall and very pretty!"
— Aggie (5/5)
I can't stop buying!
"I have planted some in containers and some in the ground. Both have come up bigger and better each year. Im in central Massachusetts zone 5/6. The bees, butterflies and hummingbirds love these. They bloom from May until late September/early October. I highly recommend as they are a favorite with pollinators. They add color all season long. Will definitely be buying more!"
— Klyn (5/5)
Holy Moly! Bees love it!
"Wow! This has been my quickest performing plant! The bees and butterflies LOVE air! It is lovely! The only problem, it's a bit bigger than the dimensions given. Said 42-54"" tall, mine is about 72""!! And for width it said 24-30"" wide, and it's about 65""!! It's nuts and so healthy. Did have a lot of hail this season, it survived but lost a big branch. I've started to tie it a bit because it's now in too small of a space and getting into sidewalk/stairs. I still love it, just have to figure out how to deal with its size appropriately. A more experienced gardener likely would not have put it where I did! Sooo many different types of bees are now enjoying it! Lots of the big fuzzy bumbles and the little babies too! Zone 5, has been planted about 10 months. Also, it made it through a very harsh winter."
— Paintypants (5/5)
WOW!!!
"These are absolutely gorgeous and the bees LOVE them! I planted 2 this spring and they grew quickly and bloomed beautifully. If I had more space, I would plant more!"
Fill your garden with a big cloud of gorgeous, glowing lavender-purple flower spikes. 'Blue Blazes' is a large, vigorous hybrid that blooms non-stop from mid-summer into fall, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds with its nectar-rich flowers. While the plant takes two growing seasons to reach its full size, it blooms the first year from planting. Situate it in full sun with a well-drained soil. Pinching back the plant in late spring keeps it more compact. 'Blue Blazes' is an amazing hybrid between our own Agastache 'Desert Sunrise' (introduced in 2000) and the blue flowered eastern native Agastache foeniculatum. Bred by Kelly Grummons, owner of Timberline Gardens in Arvada, CO. (cutting propagated)
Planting & Care
Tips for growing Agastache
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.
