Description
Reddish-pink to lavender flowers rise in tight spikes above the compact upright clump of Agastache Rosie Posie. Persistent magenta-purple calyxes keep the flower display colorful after individual blooms fade, while butterflies and hummingbirds visit through the long summer-to-fall season.
Grow this perennial in full sun and sharply drained, fertile soil. Mature plants reach about 20 to 40 inches high and wide, fitting sunny borders, gravel gardens, and cottage plantings. Remove spent flower spikes during the blooming season, and avoid heavy or waterlogged soil.
