Agastache x hybrida 'Arizona Sun'
Agastache x hybrida 'Arizona Sun' produces sunshine-yellow flower trusses all through summer and autumn.
The Arizona Series of Agastache have been recently bred for compact growth; wonderful colours; longer, constant flowering; and especially for heat resistance.
Scented & edible - flowers & foliage
Agastache x hybrida ‘Arizona Sun’ is a hardy, evergreen, shrubby perennial, which deserves a place in every garden, and in pots as well.
'Arizona Sun' is worth featuring for its lovely scented, edible, sunshine yellow flowers, alone.
But when you add in a tough, bone-hardy constitution, and water-wise, easy low maintenance, then you can’t think of a reason not to have it.
Water-wise & drought resistant
Agastache x hybrida 'Arizona Sun' is tough, and easily grown in Full Sun to Part Shade.
It is hardy in frost and forgiving of a wide range of soils, including sandy, rocky and poor soils.
It suits coastal areas, windy, and hot and dry gardens.
'Arizona Sun' is water-wise and drought resistant, so it is ideal for gardeners with limited water.
Quick & easy flowers in the garden
Agastache x hybrida 'Arizona Sun' is a low maintenance plant, and largely untroubled by any pests and diseases.
The only work required is to cut the whole plant back hard before spring to encourage new growth and maintain a neat shape.
It is a hardy perennial clump, and quick growing for fast garden effect and flowers.
Cooking & cut flowers
'Arizona Sun' is a special treat for the florists and cooks amongst us.
The cheery yellow flower trusses make good cut blooms for a vase indoors, where they last well.
While both flowers and foliage are very useful in the kitchen, all being edible.
Use the minty flavour in cakes, salads (where the bright flowers really liven up the appeal), in drinks (puts a whole new dimension on a G&T or a Mojito), or to add an edible garnish to a meat dish (Agastache leaves go well with pork).
Native honey-eater birds adore Agastache
Native honey-eating birds revel in the nectar rich Agastache flowers.
As the Agastache blooms continuously for months on end, from late spring to autumn's close, they are a blessing for all our useful pollinators.
Agastache are an invaluable and long-lasting food source for bees, butterflies, birds and other useful pollinators - so plant some in your veggie plot or orchard.
Rabbits & deer dislike it
And to top it all off - rabbits and deer can’t abide the aromatic oils in the foliage and flowers - so they leave them alone.
