Description
Agastache barberi 'Firebird' is a perennial with an upright habit and very floriferous, which self-sows. From July to September, it produces spikes of tubular flowers in orange colour. Its foliage is a greyish green. This deciduous foliage is composed of lanceolate (lance-shaped) and opposite leaves, with a velvety underside. They are fragrant, with an aroma similar to mint, licorice, and lemon. The aromatic leaves are used for infusions or teas, as well as for garnishing and flavouring dishes.
When mature, Agastache can reach a height of 60cm (24in). Native to China, Japan, and Mexico, the plant has good hardiness. The flowers are highly appreciated by bees and other insects, making it a melliferous plant, meaning it contains substances collected by pollinating insects or some birds that transform into honey. Butterflies also enjoy it.
It can be found in flower beds, borders, and mixed borders. It enhances summer gardens. Its flowers are ideal for creating dried bouquets. Agastache pairs well with Chrysanthemums maximum and Heleniums.

Planting and care
Agastache barberi 'Firebird' thrives in full sun or partial shade, sheltered from cold winds. It is a plant that withstands drought well. It is suitable for any type of well-drained, rather moist and rich soil. When planting, space Agastaches 45cm (18in) apart, as they do not like root competition. Easy to grow, protect it from frost with a winter mulch in cold regions during the first few years. If necessary, water the plant, especially during flowering. In spring, trim the faded inflorescences and clean the clump. It is not particularly prone to diseases or pests that can hinder its flowering, except for powdery mildew, which can affect the leaves during dry periods.

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.
