Growing Non-GMO Arizona Sun Agastache Flower Seeds

Arizona Sun agastache is a full sun performer commonly sown directly outdoors after the frost but, for earliest blooms, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks prior. Agastache seeds will germinate in 14-21 days without the need for lighting. Then, harden off plants to a sunny place either indoors or out for best blooming. Plants are often repotted overwinter in zones 3-6.

When transplanting seedlings indoors to outdoors, it is essential to gradually acclimatize them to their new environment (hardening off). Water regularly. Arizona Sun Agastache flowers are known to be tolerant to some heat, drought, and dry soils once established, but must be drained sharply. Once the plants are almost established, allow the soil to dry between waterings. Doing this avoids water-related diseases and strengthens the root systems. Remove the spent flowers promptly to encourage more blooms.

About Arizona Sun Agastache Garden Seeds

Agastache x hybrida, or otherwise simply known as Agastache, is a garden hybridized variety that had been crossed between a combination of the 22 species of Agastache. The genus is native to North America and known throughout the horticultural world for its showy, yet winter-hardy blooms. Most of the species in the genus Agastache are perennials in zones 3-5, while the fragrant and showy Agastache foeniculum flower is winter-hardy in Zone 3.

The leaves of this plant are even edible. The young leaves especially are enjoyed as garnishes, in salads, to make teas, and more. They typically have an anise or mild mint-like flavor. It is perfect for garnishing those summertime cocktails.

The only part of the plant typically harvested is the foliage. Gently snip off individual leaves or an entire branch occasionally. If a continuous supply is desired, do not harvest more than 1/3rd of the plant’s size at any one time. This allows the plant to easily recover between harvests.

Agastache can also be known as Giant Hyssop, Hummingbird Mint, Anise Hyssop, or just Hyssop. Despite the names, Agastache is not related to Hyssop or Anise.
