Also known as the hummingbird plant or the mosquito plant, Agastache canna is native to southern USA. It's attractive to pollinators and bears pretty spikes of pink tubular flowers, in contrast with fresh green foliage which smells of mint when crushed. It's well suited to growing in a mixed herbaceous border and can also be grown as part of a summer container display.
Grow Agastache canna in moist but well-drained soil in full sun.
