Agastache Aztec Rose

Common Name:
Hummingbird Mint

Description:
Agastache ‘Aztec Rose’ is a compact, long-flowering perennial grown for its soft rose-pink flower spikes and aromatic foliage. It brings a light, airy look to garden beds, borders and pots, while also adding strong seasonal colour through the warmer months. The tubular flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and nectar-feeding birds, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly planting. In Melbourne, it performs best in a sunny position with well-drained soil and benefits from avoiding overly wet conditions, particularly through winter. This variety is well suited to cottage gardens, contemporary landscapes and mixed perennial plantings, where its neat habit and extended flowering season provide reliable garden interest from late spring through summer and into autumn.
