Agastache Poquito® ‘Orange’

Common Name:
Poquito Orange Hummingbird Mint

Description:
Agastache Poquito ‘Orange’ is a compact and colourful perennial prized for its long-lasting orange blooms and ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions. Part of the mint family, this vibrant variety offers a dense display of upright flower spikes that attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators from late spring right through to early autumn. With its spicy, mint-scented foliage and abundant tangerine-orange flowers, this plant is ideal for adding a splash of colour to borders, rockeries, or containers. It performs best in well-drained soil and prefers full sun exposure, making it a great choice for Melbourne gardens prone to dry spells. Heat and drought tolerant once established, it requires minimal maintenance and benefits from a light prune to encourage fresh growth. The Poquito series is known for its compact habit, making it a standout for small spaces and potted displays.
