Grow Together: Tips for Growing Agastache (Hummingbird Mint)

Agastache, which is commonly called Hummingbird Mint or Giant Hyssop, produces fragrant flowering spikes that bloom for a long time and are a favorite for pollinators. These plants can handle periods of low watering, poor nutrient availability, and varying types of soils. They are grown as perennials in Zones 5-9.

TIPS FOR GROWING AGASTACHE:

1. Plant them where they can get plenty of sunshine! Three or more hours each day.
2. Fertilize when they are planted, and once again every spring.
3. Trim off dead flowers to keep the plant blooming for a longer period of time.
