Description
Agastache hybrid Arcado Pink covers itself in the summer with lovely spikes laden with tiny, melliferous flowers of a soft and bright pink-purple hue, above a scented foliage. The combination of a free-flowering nature and a vigorous, compact growth habit makes this plant very decorative planted in large clumps. Agastaches are perfect for more wild areas of the garden or as a condiment. Plant them in full sun in a fertile, moist, free-draining soil. Sow them in spring and they will flower from summer to autumn!
Agastache Arcado Pink is a plant from the family of Lamiaceae derived from the cross breeding of several more or less hardy and more or less perennial wild species that are often grown as annuals in our climates. In nature as well as in the garden, agastache cross-pollinates easily with other species and self-seeds abundantly. The plant becomes adult in the matter of a couple months. 40 cm tall and 30 cm wide, ‘Arcado Pink’ appears as a clump of foliated stems with an erect, dense and well branched growth habit. Its angular stems are garnished with leaves of a dark grey-green hue on the upper side and a lighter coloured on the lower side. Triangular and elongated in shape, they present coarsely toothed margins and measure approximately 6 to 8 cm long and are pubescent. They give off a fragrance that recalls that of mint and anise. Agastache Aracado Pink is mainly grown for the beauty of its long floral spikes that appear all summer long, from July to October. The small tubular, bilabiate flowers are grouped in thin and very dense terminal pink-purple spikes that are tightly enclosed in bracts of a slightly darker pink hue.
Agastache ‘Arcado Pink’ is a very vigorous plant that is easy to sow and grow in any well-prepared, good quality garden soil. It withstands mild frosts at temperatures as low as -7 °C. It is best placed in wild or cottage style flowerbeds with catnips and cosmos for example because it is a good melliferous and nectariferous plant. In the vegetable garden, it goes well with thyme, savory, chervil, fennel or basil. Its dried flowers keep well in bouquets. The leaves are traditionally used in the kitchen as a substitute for mint or in herbal teas after having been dried.

Planting and care
Sow Agastache seeds from February to April at temperatures between 15 and 20 °C, on the surface of a good quality sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Keep the soil damp but not wet and keep well-lit. Put them in a propagator or enclose the seed tray inside a polyethylene bag until seeds germinate which takes 30 to 90 days.
Once the plants are large enough to be handled, prick out and grow them in cooler conditions until they are developed enough to be planted out. After all risk of frost has passed, acclimatize them to outdoor conditions for 7 to 10 days. Plant them in their final outdoor locations in full sun in a fertile, well drained soil, keeping a distance of 60 cm between each plant.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
