🌻 Planting Tip

Plant Agastache ‘Rose Mint’ in well-draining soil where it will receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Avoid overly rich or wet soils—these can cause root rot. Once planted, water deeply but infrequently to encourage strong root growth. Deadhead spent blooms to promote new flowering spikes, and apply a light layer of mulch. Pair with Coreopsis, Blue Hyssop, or Echinacea Purpurea  for a stunning pollinator-friendly display.
