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.

Reviews

"Tiny plant. Very misleading. Its a 5” DEEP pot not wide. Read carefully. And none of the plants are even labeled."

— Alex (1/5)

Looking great so far

"I ordered 3 of these for fall planting, liked the color and ordered 3 more. Interestingly, just out of the shipping box the flowers on the second set of 3 were a pale yellow orange. I was thinking that I'd received the wrong plant, but after a couple of weeks in the sunny ground they have darkened to a pretty red. All 6 plants are looking good at this point."

— Hiker (5/5)

Great pollinator garden plants

"The three Coronado red saliva plants arrived in excellent condition. I have a Certified Hummingbird Habitat area of my yard that I dedicate to pollinator attracting plants. The three saliva plants are perfect for the area. They are thriving. I am eager to see their red, tubular flowers and the hummingbirds and other pollinator they attract."

— SZ (5/5)

I love this plant

"I planted as soon as they arrived, they are growing rapidly and already flowering"

— MR (5/5)

I would buy this again

"I am filling in a new bed and this is one of the plants I love"

— Nana (5/5)

Fantastic performance

"We plant in containers as agastache can be finicky in Central Indiana winters. This one is absolutely a marvel this year. Started out smallish but took off when summer heated up. Three plants filled out the container and look like jewels in the sunshine. Pictures don't do it justice. I love the pink/reddish/orange combo as the blooms mature. The hummers adore it."

— PJ (5/5)

Tough plant but needs irrigation first year or so

"My soil is heavy clay and shale, so I amended with gravel and compost to lighten. This allows the roots to not get soggy. We are in So Oregon, in the midst of drought. I've been irrigating about every two weeks and I'm hoping the plants will thrive next year. This one pant is not xeric right away!"

— Flacamama (5/5)

Beautiful and Thriving

"These lovely red agastache plants began blooming within a month of being transplanted. They keep flowering and gaining height and are a great addition to my hummingbird-friendly garden."

— Dreams (5/5)

Coronado Red Agastache Hummingbird Mint

"This perennial is a great addition to my butterfly/hummingbird garden. Thanks, High Country Gardens!!!"

— Wiz K. (5/5)

Healthy hummingbird haven

"It's started off a little slow due to Colorado's late frost season. But now that we're in the summer heat, this plant is very happy."

— Hummer F. (5/5)
