This is a strikingly beautiful agasatche, with tall spikes of large, tubular, orange, pink, and lavender blossoms, which go from midsummer to through fall, usually to the first frost. Foliage is a lovely grey green, and the entire plant is delightfully, mintily fragrant. Grows about 40 to 48 inches tall and about half as wide. Attacts butterflies and attention. For sunny borders. A High Country Gardens introduction.
Grow in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade, though best in full sun. Good soil drainage is essential. Plants will perform poorly and may not survive winter in unamended clay soils or over-watered soils. Plants tolerate heat and some dry soils once established. Deadhead spent flower blooms to promote additional bloom. Cut back the dead stems in late winter to early spring. Sandy/gravelly mulches will protect plants and help to avoid onset of rot.
