Agastache 'Pink Pearl' (Hybrid)
Agastache, often lovingly referred to as Giant Hyssop or Hummingbird Mint, is a charming group of herbaceous perennials that calls North America home, boasting around 30 delightful species. When compared to their pure counterparts, Agastache hybrids bring even more beauty and resilience with their stunning winter flowers. These hybrids come in a delightful range of colors including vibrant reds, warm oranges, soft pinks, sunny yellows, and crisp whites. Most hybrid plants showcase dense spikes filled with small tubular flowers, which bloom from mid-summer to fall in lovely clusters atop robust, square stems adorned with fragrant leaves. These flowers are a favorite among bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.
Among the Agastache family, 'Pink Pearl' truly shines thanks to its compact growth and a breathtaking display of blooms that envelop the entire plant. The light pink flowers, accompanied by darker buds, create a gorgeous two-tone effect from late spring all the way to frost.
Agastache thrives in average, moderately moist, well-drained soils and loves basking in full sunshine, though it can handle a bit of light shade too. Just remember, good drainage is key! These lovely plants may struggle and possibly not survive winter in heavy clay soils that hold on to moisture. But fear not, once established, they can tolerate some dry spells and warm conditions. For an even more abundant bloom, don’t forget to pinch off spent flowers every now and then. Typically, Agastache hybrids are hardy up to USDA Zone 6. It's especially helpful to place them in cozy spots like southern exposures, and leaving their leaves and flower stems through the winter adds an extra layer of protection. Adding a bit of sandy or gravelly mulch can work wonders to protect the plants and keep them rot-free.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
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.
