Description

Agastache hybrid 'Poquito™ Lavender' PP#30,530 (Dwarf Hummingbird Mint) is prized for its compact, bushy growth, long season of bloom, large flowers, and tolerance to heat and drought. Flowering into the fall, it provides welcome late-season nectar for our pollinators. Plant it with other waterwise perennials such as ‘May Night’ Salvia, Penstemon pinifolius, Dianthus, and Nepeta. Not fussy, Agastache plants require well-drained soil and a sunny location, and are drought-tolerant once established. Deadhead spent flowers in summer to encourage more blooms, but leave some spent flowers standing over winter (songbirds love the seeds).


Poquito™ is a fitting name for the most compact series of Agastache plants available – a whole new way to enjoy this favorite waterwise perennial. These native hybrids are small and tidy, making them a perfect fit for small space gardens, containers, and sidewalk gardens. Give these Agastache plants the front row of your garden for non-stop blooms and pollinators.

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.

Good plant, proper site placement seems key to establishment

"Site placement of plants are important. 2 out of 4 planted thrived. Thrivers were grown in a sandy loam soil with rock mulch. The two that did not make it through the first winter were planted in a clay loam with no rock mulch. I usually buy enough plants to test around are the place as we have 3 soil types in the garden areas. We'll plant a few more in the sandy loam areas this next year. We had a grasshopper infestation in 2024 and the flower and vegetable gardens really took a beating in May-July. Hoppers ate plants they normally have not targeted. On the Poquito mint they went for the flowers not so much the foliage. Plants survived and once hopper population faded away the recovered and flowered well from August to the firt frost in October."

Disappointed

"First time I have been disappointed with High Country Gardens. My plants arrived way before the last freeze date for my zone. Two of the five plants were completely out of their container and the potting soil was free in the box. So far I have not seen any growth in those two plants. The other three I'm seeing just recently a new leaf. Since this was the first time I've been disappointed with HCG I have to give them the benefit of doubt. So right now I'm hesitant to recommend this plant because I'm not sure two will make it. I will recommend this plant because of past experience but with reservations."
