Agastache Arizona Sandstone

Common Name:
Hummingbird Mint

Description:
Agastache ‘Arizona Sandstone’ is a compact and colourful perennial known for its masses of warm sandstone-orange tubular flowers that bloom continuously from late spring through to autumn. The vibrant blooms are held upright above aromatic grey-green foliage, creating a glowing display that brings warmth and movement to garden beds, borders, and containers. Highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds, this variety is ideal for pollinator-friendly gardens and waterwise landscapes. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Arizona Sandstone’ performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent heat and drought tolerance once established. Its tidy mounded habit and exceptionally long flowering season make it a standout feature in cottage gardens, contemporary plantings, and sunny outdoor spaces.
