Hummingbird Mint

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.
