Agastache Sunrise™ Blue Hyssop

Agastache Sunrise™ Blue Hummingbird Mint (Hyssop) is a compact, drought-tolerant perennial that brings unique color and pleasing fragrance to gardens from mid-spring through mid-fall. Reaching a mature height of 24 inches and spreading 18 inches wide, it produces tall, showy flower spikes filled with dense, tubular blooms in bold blue hues. Each flower is rich in nectar and highly fragrant, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and if left to go to seed, it also draws songbirds, enhancing your garden's biodiversity. These long-lasting flowers make stunning additions to cut flower arrangements, both fresh and dried.

This Agastache hybrid, commonly called hyssop or hummingbird mint, has an upright, clumping habit and grows rapidly, making it ideal for naturalized areas. Its aromatic, gray-green foliage has a minty scent and can be used in teas, fresh or dried. Well-suited for xeriscapes and rock gardens due to its dry soil tolerance, it also performs beautifully in containers and mixed borders, providing color and pollinator appeal in low-water landscapes.

Low-maintenance and resilient, hummingbird mint thrives in full sun to light shade with well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil. Once established, it tolerates heat, dry conditions, and resists deer and rabbits. Avoid planting in wet soils to prevent root rot, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and control self-seeding. This tough perennial offers beauty, fragrance, and ecological value with minimal care, making it a favorite for easy, vibrant garden designs.
