Agastache 'Rose Mint'
Mint-scented foliage keeps the plant interesting from spring until frost.
'Rose Mint' packs more color into every inch, flowering all summer (and into autumn in warm climates). The lavender blooms look darker than they really are, thanks to their standout stems, with florets tightly packed along the stem. Cut all you like for the vase; this plant has color to spare!
Reaching 2 feet high (in bloom) and about 3 feet wide, this is a mainstay of the sunny border or, in areas north of its hardiness range, the annual bed. Plant it among scentless flowers and let its minty leaves waft their fresh fragrance throughout the garden; plant it in a butterfly-attracting garden and see how useful it is not only to butterflies but bees and hummingbirds as well. Easy, carefree, and long-blooming, it is a treasure. Pkt is 20 seeds.
