Agastache rugosa

4 seeds germinated out of a dozen sown... is this scorching summer responsible for it? sown in a pot, I took care of them and watered them. 3 remaining young plants transplanted did not survive... I will start earlier next year with the remaining seeds.

Description
Korean mint, also known as Agastache rugosa, is a hardy, herbaceous perennial that grows to about 70 cm in height. It is grown for its attractive blooms and for its medium-sized, oval leaves that smell like liquorice mint. Delicious fresh, finely chopped on salads, as herbal tea or in fish sauce. Sow from February to April and harvest 3 months later.
Agastache rugosa is native to China and Korea. First introduced in Europe for its attractive, melliferous blooms, it quickly became used as a condiment thanks to its wonderful aniseed/liquorice mint flavour.
Korean mint benefits from a dose of well-rotted compost (2 kg/m²) in late autumn or early spring.
Harvesting: pick the leaves when required, between May and October.
Preservation: the leaves will keep for a few days in a glass of water in the refrigerator. They can also be dried and stored in a sealed jar.
Good to know: Weed and hoe regularly. Pinch the flowering stems to encourage the development of new shoots.

Planting and care
Sowing:
Sown in a seed tray filled with fine soil from February onwards, in a warm, bright place. Temperatures must exceed 15°C. When the plants have 2 to 4 leaves, transplant them into pots and put them in a warm place, such as a cold frame, greenhouse or polytunnel. They can be moved into their final position when frosts are no longer a concern, spaced about 30 cm apart.
Agastache is hardy and not prone to disease.

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.
