Agastache Seeds commonly known as hyssop or hummingbird mint, is a genus of aromatic perennial plants in the mint family. It’s valued for its spiky flowers, fragrant foliage, and ability to attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Here’s how to grow and care for Agastache:

Agastache Seeds Types

Popular varieties include:

• Agastache foeniculum (Anise Hyssop): Purple flowers with a licorice scent.
• Agastache rugosa (Korean Mint): Spicy-mint-scented leaves with lavender-blue blooms.
• Agastache mexicana (Mexican Hyssop): Citrus-scented foliage and pink or orange flowers.
• Agastache aurantiaca (Sunset Hyssop): Orange and peach flowers, drought-tolerant.

Planting Agastache

1. Growing from Seeds:
   • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or direct-sow after the last frost.
   • Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them down (do not cover heavily as they need light to germinate).
   • Keep the soil moist until germination, which takes 7-14 days.
2. Transplanting Seedlings:
   • Harden off seedlings before planting outdoors.
   • Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow good air circulation.
3. Soil Requirements:
   • Well-draining soil is essential; Agastache prefers sandy or loamy soil.
   • Ideal soil pH: 6.0–7.5.
4. Sunlight:
   • Thrives in full sun, though it can tolerate light shade in hotter climates.

Agastache Seeds Care 

1. Watering:
   • Drought-tolerant once established, but water regularly during the first growing season to help roots develop.
   • Avoid overwatering or poorly drained soil, which can cause root rot.
2. Fertilizing:
   • Agastache is not a heavy feeder. Apply a light layer of compost in spring or a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.
3. Pruning:
   • Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
   • Cut back stems in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
4. Mulching:
   • Mulch in colder regions to protect roots from freezing.
5. Winter Care:
   • Most Agastache varieties are hardy in USDA zones 5–10. In colder zones, consider growing it as an annual or protecting it with heavy mulching.
