Agastache POQUITO Lavender (Dwarf Hummingbird Mint) is a compact and bushy, upright herbaceous perennial forming a low tight mound of aromatic, finely textured leaves. From late spring to fall, it boasts dense spikes of bright lavender-pink flowers. They stand out in the garden and provide a bold visual appeal. Loved by bees and hummingbirds, it is perfect for use in sunny borders, mixed beds, or patio containers.

This Agastache belongs to the POQUITO Series, which is noted for its compact habit, free flowering plants with large flowers. These plants hold up well in the summer heat and are resistant to mildew.
