Description

Agastache x ‘Rosie Posie’ (Hummingbird Mint) is a new garden-worthy cultivar that fills the need for a compact, long-blooming, low-maintenance perennial. Native to North America, Agastache features fragrant flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Scented foliage makes them perfect for a path’s edge where they will be brushed as visitors pass, releasing a minty fragrance. Nice candidates for areas where minimal care is needed, these xeric plants are very hardy and drought tolerant once established. Plant them in a full-sun location with well-drained soil. Great in containers as well, they can provide cut flowers, and may be dried for their sweet minty fragrance.

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.

Hopeful

"This is my first time trying to grow agastaches. Outside of the prime environment. Central Texas, on the edge of the hill country. Zone 9a, little rain. Alkaline soil. I bought several agastaches and other plants, including one Rosie Posie. The Rosie Posie is the healthiest one so far. In two months it has grown from a little 4 inch start to 6" x 18" across by 6" tall. Actually, for the first couple of weeks it looked sickly and languished. It was in a bed with improved soil, with lots of compost. I then moved it to another site with native, lean soil, with a little clay, a generous helping of expanded shale and a little perlite. It's now really taken off growing. Foliage color is fine. I am waiting to see how well it blooms and survives."

Stunner!!!!

"I got this agastachi as a substitute for an item that was back ordered. It is absolutely fantastic! Plant screw to 3 ft wide by 3 ft tall in the first season. And beautiful flowers all summer and the deer left alone! Best of all our bees love it! Snow mid December and the plants are still green even though we've had many freezing nights."

Constant bloomer

"I love this plant . Once it blooms, it blooms all summer through fall. It might start blooming in late spring. I have 5 Rosie Posie plants. I enjoy how hardy they are ,once they are established. If one dies, I'll just order more. Since it's is early spring the plants are not in bloom. That is the reason I didn't add a picture."

Agastaches attract pollinators!

"I was introduced to agastaches when I took the Master Gardener classes in 2022. Wish I would have known about them sooner! They have become a favorite. Lots of beautiful varieties are available through High Country Gardens."
