At first glance, agastache might look like an ordinary nettle, but its jagged leaves definitely don't sting. On the contrary, once crushed, you'll be surprised by a pleasant fragrance blending notes of mint and anise. These are robust perennials native to the sunny regions of Asia and North America, which is why they thrive best in full sun. They love warmth and well-drained, even slightly dry, sandy soil. Once they settle into your flower bed, they don't require any complicated care and will easily survive our winters. Throughout the summer, they bloom tirelessly with masses of tiny flowers, attracting bees and butterflies alike. They form stable, upright clumps that pair beautifully with other plants or ornamental grasses. Whether you plant them in the middle sections of your borders or let them stand out as a delicate accent, they will reward you with a flood of color and an unmistakable scent all season long.
