It is not particular as to soil type, but has a definite preference for alkaline soils, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application.

Loved by butterflies, bees, and those hummers. We are loving how quickly it grows in the greenhouse so we know it will be a win in the landscape. A strong performer in the garden and in the pot.

Missing from the agastache lineup has always been a really great red.
