Agastache ‘Summer Glow’ (Hummingbird Mint)

Agastache ‘Summer Glow’ (Hummingbird Mint) is a compact perennial boasting dense, pale yellow flower spikes from early summer to fall. Blooming for weeks, the blossoms are extremely showy with their dark calyces and add lovely vertical lines to the landscape. Loved by bees and hummingbirds, they are borne atop an attractive clump of aromatic, deep green foliage that emits a licorice scent when crushed. Perfect for use in the perennial border or in large patio containers.

• Grows up to 20-24 in. tall (50-60 cm) and 18 in. wide (45 cm). The aromatic leaves exude a minty scent when crushed.
• Easily grown in full sun, in well-drained, fertile soils. Good drainage is particularly important. Although a drought-tolerant plant, it might need watering in extreme dry weather spells.
• Provides a bold visual impact in beds and borders, cottage gardens, city gardens, butterfly gardens, or patio containers over a very long season.
• Ideal to add color to the late-season garden when many other plants are fading.
• Creates a stunning effect when mixed with other perennials or planted en masse.
• Attracts streams of hummingbirds, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.
• Generally disease and pest-free (might occasionally be subject to powdery mildew) and resistant to deer and rabbits.
• Deadhead spent flowers to promote additional bloom. 
• Propagate by division, or by semi-ripe cuttings.
