100 Seeds Orange Hyssop Agastache aurantiaca Perennial Hummingbird Mint Fragrant Pollinator Blooms

Orange hyssop (Agastache aurantiaca), also known as hummingbird mint, produces vivid spikes of warm orange tubular blooms above mint-scented, aromatic foliage. These hardy perennial plants flower from midsummer well into early fall, bringing showy color and fine texture to cottage gardens, sunny borders, and low-water landscapes.
This versatile ornamental herb pairs nicely with other perennials and grasses, making it a lovely addition to pollinator gardens, prairie-style plantings, and mixed herb beds. The fragrant leaves and blossoms can be used fresh or dried for herbal teas and as edible garnishes in salads. Orange hyssop is easy to grow from seed, performs best in a sunny, well-drained spot, and rewards gardeners with abundant blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
