Agastache coccinea x aurantiaca 'Apricot Sunrise'
Agastache, commonly called giant hyssop, is a genus containing about 30 species of upright herbaceous perennials, most of which are native to North America. 'Apricot Sunrise" is an F-1 hybrid resulting from a cross between A. coccinea and A. aurantiaca (both native to the southwestern U. S.). Spikes of soft golden orange to yellowish 1" long tubular nectar-rich flowers bloom summer through fall atop the grayish-green fragrant foliage. A hummingbird magnet. Also loved by bees and butterflies, so perfect for a pollinator garden.
Plant in a full sun or lightly shaded location and allow the soil to become slightly dry between waterings. Thrives best in fertile, average moisture to periodically dry soil, with excellent drainage, and good air circulation (don't crowd it). Fairly drought tolerant but looks best with some summer irrigation.

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.
