Agastache mexicana 'Balsumlem' SUMMERLONG LEMON
Agastache mexicana, known as the Mexican giant hyssop, is a lovely herbaceous perennial that shines in its native Mexico, thriving in oak forests at elevations around 8,000 feet in central Mexico. These mature plants can grow about 2 to 3 feet tall and spread just as wide. Their attractive lanceolate to narrowly ovate leaves reach lengths of 1 to 3 inches and widths of 0.75 to 1.5 inches. From mid-summer to early fall, you'll be captivated by the bright yellow blooms arranged in delightful, dense whorls called verticillasters at the tips of the stems. These flowers bring beauty to your garden and draw in hummingbirds and other delightful pollinators. Plus, the leaves offer a lovely fragrance reminiscent of lemon and anise, adding another layer of charm. Among the varieties, 'Balsumlem' is a compact selection of the Mexican giant hyssop, flaunting cheerful, bright yellow blooms. Mature plants reach heights of 1.25 to 2 feet with a similar spread. You can often find this variety at nurseries and garden centers under the cheerful name SUMMERLONG LEMON.
For the best growth, this plant loves well-draining soil that can stay evenly moist to dry. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is hardy in Zones 6-10. Once it has established itself, it shows resilience to heat and drought, making it an excellent addition to your garden.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
