Agastache Morello (Hummingbird Mint)

Agastache 'Morello' (Hummingbird Mint) is a showy perennial boasting dense, deep burgundy rose flower spikes from late spring to fall. Blooming for weeks, the inflorescences are long, wide, extremely showy, and add lovely vertical lines to the landscape. Loved by bees and hummingbirds, they are borne atop a showy clump of aromatic, dark foliage that emits a licorice scent when crushed. Perfect for use in the perennial border or in large patio containers.

• Grows up to 27-33 in. tall (67-82 cm) and 22 in. wide (55 cm).
• 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 seed or by division in spring.
