‘Firebird? (A. coccinea x A. rupestris) features coppery-orange to coral flowers and aromatic gray-green foliage. Sweetly fragrant, tubular flowers in whorls bloom on erect, salvia-like spikes atop stems typically growing to 2-3? tall. Flowers appear over a long June to September bloom period. Flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies. Leaves have a strong mint scent, and may be used fresh or dry to flavor teas. Agastache comes from the Greek words for ?much? (agan) and ?grain stalk? (stachys) in reference to the flower spikes.
