About
Agastache Beelicious Pink ('Agapk') is a compact, upright perennial characterized by its bushy form and aromatic, dark green leaves that are oval to lanceolate in shape. Throughout the summer into autumn, it produces elongated whorls of tubular, two-lipped flowers that start as a light pink and deepen to a darker hue as the season advances. These blooms are highly appealing to pollinators.
About the genus
Agastache consists of herbaceous perennials featuring straightforward, fragrant foliage and small tubular flowers with two lips, arranged in whorls that create compact spikes during the summer and autumn months. While some species may be somewhat tender, they can also be cultivated as annual bedding plants.
