Description

24-36" tall x 18" wide (seed propagated). Agastache cana (Texas Hummingbird Mint) is a hands-down favorite for everyone who sees it in our garden here. Tubular, raspberry pink flowers are prolific and continue from late summer on through fall. Agastache cana does well in average garden conditions, mixing well with other late-blooming perennials such as Solidago 'Golden Fleece' that also enjoy well-drained soils.

Flat of 9 plants will cover 14 square feet when planted together

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

  1. Provide a fast draining soil that's naturally low in fertility, Don't plant into clay soils.
  2. Plant in full hot sun.
  3. Just a few handfuls of compost in the planting hole is enough. Don't plant into a rich, highly amended soil..
  4. Fertilize the Agastache just once in fall with Yum Yum Mix.
  5. 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.

— Carlos A. (5/5)

Damaged

"I had ordered 5 of these last year. None survived the winter. I ordered and received three agastache plants this year, One was broken down to a small branch, another's branches broke off after planting. One remains intact."

Very satisfied

"Some critter (deer?) ate one of the plants down to the dirt. It has come back beautifully & is outperforming the plant that was not eaten."

— Gretchen (5/5)

Healthy, slowly getting there

"Hardy little plant, overwintered here in Pa. like a champ. Still small because we've been experiencing a dry spell this Spring and Summer but it is green and holding its own. The hummers ans well ans myself are anticipating lots of yummy fragrant flowers if not this year then definitely next year."

Love this plant!

"I planted three of these in a bed that gets about 4-6 hours of direct sunlight a day. The plants have grown quickly and are very healthy. They have a beautiful color and maintain a continuous bloom during the hot summer. They definitely are a highlight in the bed. We love seeing the blooms wave in the breeze and the butterfly and bee visitors that enjoy them as well. Highly recommend!"

— Amanda (5/5)
