Agastache 'Coral' - Hummingbird Mint UK Grown

Agastache 'Coral', commonly known as Hummingbird Mint, is a stunning perennial prized for its upright spikes of warm coral flowers that bloom from midsummer well into autumn. Set against aromatic foliage, the nectar-rich blooms attract a wealth of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, bringing movement and life to the garden. Its airy habit makes it an excellent choice for cottage-style planting schemes, prairie-inspired borders, and large patio containers. Once established, this easy-going plant is remarkably drought tolerant, making it a beautiful yet practical addition to sunny gardens.

Plant Care

Position: Full sun in a sheltered location. Thrives in free-draining soil and performs best in warm, bright conditions.

Watering: Water regularly while establishing. Once mature, Agastache becomes relatively drought tolerant and should only require additional watering during prolonged dry periods.

Hardiness: Hardy perennial. In colder, wetter areas of the UK, winter wet can be more problematic than frost, so ensure excellent drainage.

Hot Tips: Avoid cutting plants back in autumn, as the old stems can help protect the crown through winter. Instead, tidy and prune in early spring once new growth appears. Pair with salvias, echinacea, ornamental grasses, and other pollinator-friendly perennials for a vibrant summer display.
