'Coral Sunset' reminds us of lavender, but in a beautiful coral colour palette. A low maintenance perennial, agastache makes an excellent addition to the garden border or cut flower garden. The blooms are produced over a long season and held above attractive foliage. Rich in nectar, agastache are an important pollinator flower, particularly for hummingbirds. The leaves and blooms can be used to make tea.
