Description

The Agastache Beelicious Pink is a lovely pink version of the excellent Beelicious Purple. Compact and bushy, this perennial charms with the beauty of its flowering as well as its hardiness and ease of cultivation. It is also a melliferous and aromatic plant that blooms for several weeks in the summer, to the great delight of gardeners and bees. Welcome it in a pot on your balcony, or plant it in a sunny border or a herbaceous bed.

The Agastache Beelicious Pink 'Agapk' is a recent horticultural cultivar selected by the Dutch company Van Hemert & Co. It is a hybrid resulting from cross-breeding within the Agastache genus, likely between species such as Agastache rugosa and Agastache foeniculum.
The Beelicious Pink variety has a bushy and compact habit, reaching 70 to 80 cm in height when in flower and about 50 cm in spread. Its flowering extends from July to September, in the form of large pink tubular flowers surrounded by purple bracts. The foliage is deciduous, it dries up in winter and regrows in spring. The Beelicious Pink was awarded a gold medal at the KVBC Spring Challenge 2024 and was a finalist for the Plant of the Year award at the Chelsea Flower Show 2024.

Agastache Beelicious Pink can be cultivated in highly sunny borders and country style beds, but also in pots on the patio. In warm regions, it must never lack water during flowering. In cooler regions, the soil must be well-drained. A carefree perennial, it happily accompanies grasses such as Eragrostis and Pennisetum, meadow sage, and summer asters, for example. In a vegetable garden, it can accompany thyme, savory, chervil, or basil. The dried flowers keep very well in vases. The flowers and highly fragrant leaves of Agastaches are edible and delicious in salads or in fish dishes.

Planting and care

The Agastache Beelicious Pink is a plant that thrives in sunny positions but will tolerate any good garden soil with adequate drainage, whether clay-based or fairly sandy. In heavy soil, dig a 30 cm hole in all directions, mix gravel with your garden soil, and plant the stump on this well-draining mixture. This plant can withstand severe frosts (down to -20°C) under these conditions. The soil should be fertile, loose, well-drained, but fairly moist to support flowering. The plant will tolerate temporary dry spells though these may hinder flowering.
