Agastache Arizona Sun

Common Name:
Hummingbird Mint

Description:
Agastache ‘Arizona Sun’ is a vibrant and compact perennial celebrated for its masses of golden-yellow tubular flowers that bloom continuously from late spring through to autumn. This eye-catching variety produces upright flower spikes above aromatic grey-green foliage, creating a colourful display that attracts bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds to the garden. Its neat mounded habit makes it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, rockeries, and decorative pots. Exceptionally heat and drought tolerant once established, ‘Arizona Sun’ thrives in Melbourne’s climate when planted in full sun with well-drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged flowering, while its fragrant foliage adds additional garden interest. With its long blooming season and low-maintenance nature, this variety is an excellent choice for adding reliable colour to sunny outdoor spaces.
