Description
Agastache ‘Rose Mint’ (Agastache pallidiflora ssp. neomexicana) is a compact, floriferous variety valued for its bright pink flower spikes and delightful fragrance. Native to the American Southwest, it thrives in hot, sunny conditions and rewards with a long season of blooms that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Its leaves and flowers are edible, lending a sweet anise-mint flavour to teas, drinks, and desserts, and agastache species have a history of medicinal use for easing coughs, soothing digestion, and lifting the spirits. While perennial in warmer climates, in New Zealand it may be short-lived or frost-tender, and is often grown as a heat-loving annual or given winter protection. With its combination of colour, scent, and usefulness, ‘Rose Mint’ makes a vibrant addition to borders, containers, and pollinator-friendly gardens.
