Agastache Clayt. ex Gronov.

The use of Agastache species in decorative arrangements as vertical accents that require high levels of drainage and solar exposure.

In the reference 12 varieties crop Giant hyssop, where this is mentioned in the description.

In landscape design, Agastache is used to create vertical dominants in flower beds and mixed borders. The plants are valued for their long flowering period and ability to attract pollinators, and they also combine well in compositions with drought-tolerant perennials such as grasses, sages, and echinaceas.

For successful placement in bedding, it is critical to ensure full sunlight, as the shoots become leggy and lose their ornamental appeal in the shade. On heavy soils, it is mandatory to provide high-quality drainage by creating raised beds or adding sand and gravel, which prevents the root system from rotting during the winter period.
