Description
One of the top hummingbird attractors in our gardens, the Poquito Orange Agastache, commonly called Hummingbird Mint, is a vigorous growing compact selection featuring abundant spikes of tubular flowers in shades of golden orange that were perfectly designed for hummingbirds. The flowers stand out nicely against the green licorice-mint-scented foliage from spring and continuing well into fall. Provide a full to mostly sunny location in a well-drained soil for optimum health and flowering.
Landscape / Garden Uses
Growing 12 to 15 inches tall and wide, Poquito Orange Agastache is ideal for use a solo or accent in small garden spaces and containers or in groupings in sunny perennial borders. A fine addition to hummingbird gardens, butterfly gardens, beneficial pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, fragrance gardens, and orange theme gardens.
Growing Preferences
Poquito Orange Agastache is very easy to grow in damp to moist but well-drained soil and full sun to mostly sun for best flowering. A constantly soggy or wet soil can cause root rot. Periodic removal of spent flower spikes will help to keep the plants looking clean and fresh as well as to make way for new flower spikes.

They have only been in the ground a few weeks and are already full of blooms. Another great Wilson Bros plant. My favorite nursery.———————————————Awesome! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I’ve made several purchases from Wilson Bros. My latest was these. The plant quality has always been good. Always receive them quickly and packed well. This shipment was a little different. When I opened the box you could tell that the handling was pretty rough. A couple of the pots had come loose, one laying on it’s side and had come out of it’s pot and the other was upside down setting on the plant. I don’t blame Wilson Bros., I blame the transporter. I have since planted them and they are doing well.
The deer resistance of these has already been tested. We have several deer in the neighborhood. I went out the other day and found a hoof print right next to one plant. They didn’t touch them.————————————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
