Just bought a yellow hybrid on sale for $3. I absolutely love all the mint family plants. I’m excited to have this one!
I LOVE this plant!! I grow it in my yard and in containers and the hummingbirds forgo my hummingbird feeders for the Agastache!! I have the pink and the orange!! Beautiful plant!!
I love this plant, brings all the bees to the garden.
Hi Debby! 👋 YES, this plant is fantastic for so many reasons, right? And the smell! Thank you for watching!! 😃
Hello, enjoyed all the info on Hummingbird Mint. My plant has gotten extremely large. Can I split it to make other plants. Should I put back into the ground or into pots. I live in Illinois Zone 5
Thank you for the info! I just ordered some seeds because I saw they can help repel mosquitoes and you can make a mosquito repellent with it! Im in Louisiana so that sounds perfect! Since it is ediable I wonder if it is safe for chickens. Im trying to fill pots around a chicken coop with things they can peck at if I pull the pots closer but also helps keep their coop free from pests.
Do you deadhead and prune and if so please do a demonstration. Thank you.
I love it ...never heard of it before. 😘🥰🥰
Great Press!!
Great review of the Agastache!! I have been attracting hummingbirds for 3 years and only the last year focused on the hummingbird tubed plants!!
Thanks
Cheers
Hi RealJingy! 👋 That is great to hear! Isn't it interesting how they are drawn to the more tubed or trumpeted flower shapes? Nature is so amazing. 😲 We love our hummingbirds and feel very fortunate they visit our garden and bring us soo much joy and entertainment 😄. Thank you for watching and your comments.
this looks like washington state
Is this plant okay to be planted with my tomatoes and jalapeno in my raised bed?
Are you sure it isn't pronounced "a-gah-STOCK-ee"? 🤔
I'm growing some myself for the first time. I'm hoping I can make tea with it. 😊☕️
I live in zone 6. I just bought Kudos Coral agastache. I am thinking of planting it in a pot, but I worry about it surviving the winter. We winter in the south, so keeping it in our garage up north is out as we have no one to water it occasionally. Should I stick with planting it in the ground?
Hi Marlene! 👋 Really good question. If it was us and we were asking ourselves the same question, we would keep it as simple as possible and plant the agastache in the ground, as long as it was zoned to be hardy in our area. The Sunset Garden Book and the American Hort. Society reference books we have here don't call out any information on overwintering agastache in pots, and we haven't experienced that yet with ours (this winter will be our first). Planting in the ground is probably going to be your best bet. We would encourage you to do your own research, though, and see what other gardeners in your region might do in the same situation. Hope that helps and thank you for watching. 😃
Hi there. Great video. I live in Canada zone 3. Do you think I can grow this plant as a annual from seed? Thanks in advance.
I wonder if, as a mint, this will be invasive. I'll be trying it this summer; not sure if it will be happy in my zone 10.
Hi S J! 👋 Sorry for the delay in responding! We answered your question in a recent TH-cam LIVE th-cam.com/video/m8eKZeszowE/w-d-xo.html We hope this is helpful and thanks for watching and commenting! 😀
I wish you would talk soil> I have clay and love these agastache plants plus zones. I am 9
How do you dead head it? Where should I cut it down too?
Hi Queen_Sophie! 👋 Thank you for watching and for asking your question. We answered your question on our LIVE Saturday Garden Chat yesterday (7/23/2021) if you want to watch that: th-cam.com/video/R-323w4hk_I/w-d-xo.html
When you want to deadhead your Agastache, follow the stem of the the withered/old flower bloom down to the next "junction" on that stem where you have a lateral branch on each side either growing or starting to grow out. In most cases, this is where your next flowers will be located. Make your cut just above this "junction" to remove the old flower and to encourage your plant to keep growing and developing these future flowers. Hope that helps! 😉👍
What will you do with it in the winter
Hi Ellen! 👋 Thank you for watching and good question. 😁 We plan to bring this and other containers with perennial plants up close to the house and under cover so they get residual heat and their roots don't get too cold (because they aren't insulated by surrounding soil like plants in the ground). We might change our minds though and plant the agastache out in the garden this fall to then make room for other container plantings this coming fall or spring. 😄 Are you growing Agastache in your garden?

Mine are in pots. I’m in Ohio. I was going to bring them inside but would the garage be better
please let me know if this survives winter in zone 4a or 3b. THANKS!!!!!!
Hi Jena!! 👋🏼👋🏼 Thank you for watching and for your comment. Agastache Hummingbird Mint plants generally are hardy in (USDA) zones 6-10, but if you live in zone 5 you could still grow this plant if you have a warmer microclimate around your garden. It most likely won't overwinter in zones 4a or 3b, but you could also still grow it if you treat it like a mum, geranium, fuchsia, or other plant that you might over winter in your garage. Once the really cold temperatures arrive in the fall or winter, you would bring an agastache plant inside (potted) and make sure it got light and regular watering to keep the soil moist. As long as you can keep your garage at or just above freezing, you should be good. Our agastache plants always overwinter outside in containers here in zone 8b and we have had cold falls and winters lately with 25F temperatures, and each plant comes right back. We hope this info helps you with your question and happy gardening! 😀😉
Thank you, we're are the seeds on this flower
Hi thanks for the awesome info. Is it edible. Also, how should I trim it and when? Thank you :)
Hi M Brights! 👋 Thank you for watching our video! Hummingbird Mint is an herb so you can use it in different ways, including in teas, herbal remedies, and accents in salads or as a garnish. You can prune it back during this time of year, if needed, to give it more shape or to keep its growth under control. Deadheading can happen anytime a flower has withered all the way. If pruning, make sure it's as healthy as possible to lessen overall plant stress. If you do prune it when it's flowering, understand that it will take it a few weeks to reestablish flower buds on the remaining stems and to be patient. Best time we have found to really prune it, in our climate (Zone 8b) is in the spring right as it is starting to wake up from the winter and you can remove any dead tissue. Hope that helps and thanks again for watching! 😊👍
Does it seed.?
Yes, it self-seeds. It's also great for winter sowing.
