Description
Mango-orange flowers emerge from dusky rose calyxes on Agastache Mango Tango, keeping its compact, rounded clump colorful from midsummer into early fall. Dense spikes rise over aromatic medium-green foliage and draw hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees.
This shorter perennial fits sunny borders, rock gardens, and patio containers, and its stems can be cut fresh or dried. Full sun and excellent drainage are essential, especially through winter. Water moderately and avoid heavy clay or consistently wet soil.
Clip spent flowers during bloom to encourage more color. Cut old stems back before new growth begins in spring, and watch for aphids, spider mites, and thrips.
