Description:
Agastache ‘Pink Fortune’ is a reliable and floriferous perennial, distinguished by its dense, upright spikes of soft pink flowers as seen in the image. The blooms are tightly packed along sturdy stems, creating a bold vertical display that contrasts beautifully with its lush green, lightly aromatic foliage. This variety is particularly valued for its improved tolerance to cooler and slightly more humid conditions compared to other agastache, making it well suited to Melbourne gardens. Flowering continuously from late spring through to autumn, it provides a long-lasting nectar source for bees, butterflies and small birds. Best grown in a sunny, well-drained position, ‘Pink Fortune’ is ideal for borders, mass plantings and pollinator-focused landscapes, offering both resilience and extended seasonal colour.
