The silhouette of Agastache ‘Orange’ (Agastache ‘Orange’) adds dimension to garden compositions. Its foliage features shades of green, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is June-September. Its size, 30 cm by 40 cm, reserves it a spot at the front of borders and rock gardens, without forgetting space for its neighbors.

The success of Agastache ‘Orange’ begins with its location: full sun, in suitable soil (draining, rather light; avoid water pockets around the crown). After planting Agastache ‘Orange’, water enough to thoroughly moisten the root ball. Once rooted, allow the surface to dry between waterings and prioritize drainage, especially during thaws. A spacing of about 40 cm between centers is a starting point, to be adjusted according to observed vigor. The indicated hardiness level is zone 5, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.

The maintenance of Agastache ‘Orange’ primarily relies on observing the clump: wait to see spring regrowth before removing parts that have dried during winter. Winter drainage is crucial for this agastache; avoid depressions where water accumulates during thaws. For pairings, consider border sages, yarrows, upright sedums in varieties with similar needs. The flowering (June-September) and spread of 40 cm will serve as benchmarks for distributing other plants around this plant.
