Pet safety guideAbout Hummingbird Mint
Hummingbird Mint (Agastache spp.) is a fragrant, drought-tolerant perennial producing dense spikes of tubular flowers in shades of orange, pink, purple, and red from summer through fall, a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies. It thrives in NE Florida's full-sun, well-drained settings with minimal supplemental water once established.

Care essentials
Plant Hummingbird Mint in full sun (6+ hours daily). In NE Florida's intense summer heat, excellent sun exposure also helps prevent the fungal issues that arise in humid, shaded conditions.
Drought-tolerant once established; water deeply but infrequently. In Florida's rainy season, ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot — avoid overhead irrigation to reduce fungal disease risk.
Thrives in average to dry, well-drained sandy or loamy soil — the well-drained sandy soils common in NE Florida suit this plant well. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged sites. Fertilize lightly; overly rich soil reduces flowering.
