Agastache x 'Pink Pearl'

Common Name:
Pink Pearl Hummingbird Mint

Description:
Agastache x 'Pink Pearl' is a compact, aromatic perennial prized for its soft pink flower spikes and finely textured, mint-scented foliage. Flowering over a long season from late spring through to early autumn, this variety adds colour, fragrance, and pollinator activity to the garden. The dense spikes of tiny, tubular pink flowers attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, making it a standout in wildlife-friendly and waterwise gardens. Its tidy, upright form and manageable size make it perfect for borders, herb gardens, and mixed perennial beds. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, 'Pink Pearl' prefers a full sun position with well-drained soil and is notably drought-tolerant once established. Regular deadheading encourages continued blooming, and its foliage offers aromatic interest even outside the flowering season.
