Common Name:
Hummingbird Mint
Description:
Agastache ‘Pink Fortune’ is a robust and long-flowering herbaceous perennial, prized for its upright spikes of soft lavender-pink flowers and strong garden performance. Unlike some other agastache varieties, ‘Pink Fortune’ is known for its improved tolerance to humidity and cooler conditions, making it particularly reliable in Melbourne gardens. The dense flower spikes sit above aromatic, mint-scented foliage, creating both visual appeal and sensory interest. Blooming from late spring through to autumn, it provides an extended source of nectar for bees, butterflies and small birds. Best planted in a sunny position with well-drained soil, this variety is ideal for borders, mass plantings and cottage-style gardens, offering a tidy, upright habit with excellent repeat flowering.
