Agastache Kolibri
Anise Hyssop, Giant Hyssop
A delightful surprise in the garden! The flowering is simply endless, the colour is bright, truly a heartwarming sight! I also believe that it thrives well in a chalky soil, but this needs to be confirmed.

Description
The Agastache 'Kolibri' is one of the few truly perennial hybrids, capable of withstanding several winters in our gardens. This variety is also interesting for its upright and compact habit, and its long summer flowering in the colors of dawn. Throughout the summer, as long as it does not lack water, it offers upright spikes adorned with long tubular flowers in shades of apricot to salmon, in a beautiful palette of orange tones. This perennial, easy-to-grow in well-drained but not too dry soil, undoubtedly adds a lot of personality to gardens.
The hybrid Agastache 'Kolibri' is a plant in the lamiaceae family, related to salvias, catmints, and other thymes. This herbaceous perennial, very long-lived in dry soil during winter, forms an upright clump, with highly branched stems, 60 cm (24in) tall and 50 cm (20in) wide. It produces triangular leaves, 5 cm (2in) long, with serrated edges, dark green, which are located along the length of the angular flowering stems. When crushed, they emit a scent of anise mixed with mint. The flowering extends from June-July to September, continuously, in the form of colourful upright inflorescences, in thin and dense spikes. Each small tubular flower, in shades of salmon to tender apricot, is surrounded by pinkish-purple bracts. This flowering, particularly nectar-rich, attracts a large number of bees and butterflies. The vegetation of this deciduous plant dries up in winter.
Easy to grow in well-drained soil, tolerating occasional drought, 'Kolibri' Agastache is cultivated in sunny and slightly wild-looking flower beds, in large flower borders, but also in pots on the terrace, in groups of three identical plants or mixed with blue, violet or red varieties. In hot and dry regions, it should never lack water during flowering. A worry-free perennial, it adds height and consistency to flower beds composed of grasses (stipas, eragrostis, pennisetums), herbaceous salvias, tall daisies, echinaceas, goldenrods, and asters. It also pairs very well with yellow or orange shrubby potentillas, for example, as well as with the perennial Geranium 'Azure Rush'.
The flowers and leaves of Agastache are edible and delicious in salads or fish dishes.

Planting and care
The 'Kolibri' Agastache is a plant that particularly fears soils that are continuously wet in winter, as this affects its hardiness. In a heavy soil with a tendency towards clay, dig a hole 30 cm (12in) in all directions, add pure sand, and plant the stump without adding any soil. This plant requires a sunny and sheltered position away from heavy frosts. During very harsh winters, cover the stumps with straw or dead leaves to form a thick mulch. The soil that receives it should be fertile, loose, well-drained, but rather moist in summer to support flowering: the plant can tolerate periods of temporary drought, which nevertheless affect flowering.
Plants grown in pots should be regularly watered and fertilized.

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.
