Raspberry Daiquiri Agastache Seeds

Raspberry Daiquiri (Agastache aurantiaca) is a lively, compact hummingbird mint grown for its brilliant raspberry-pink flower spikes, aromatic foliage, and outstanding performance in sunny gardens and containers. This colorful perennial brings weeks of vivid bloom to the landscape while drawing hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators. With its fragrant leaves, tidy habit, and good tolerance of heat and dry conditions, Raspberry Daiquiri is an excellent choice for gardeners who want long-lasting color with very little fuss.

Garden Uses
Raspberry Daiquiri is ideal for pollinator gardens, hummingbird gardens, sunny borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, xeriscapes, herb gardens, and patio containers. Its compact habit makes it useful near the front of a border or in mixed planters where taller Agastache varieties may be too large. The vivid raspberry-pink flowers combine beautifully with lavender, salvia, gaillardia, coreopsis, yarrow, penstemon, ornamental grasses, and silver-leaved plants. In containers, it creates a bright upright accent while allowing pollinators to visit close to porches, decks, and seating areas.

Growing Information
Grow Raspberry Daiquiri in full sun and well-drained soil. Like most Agastache varieties, it prefers lean to average soil and dislikes heavy, wet ground, especially during winter. Sandy, gravelly, or rocky soils are excellent, and raised beds or containers are good choices where drainage is poor. Plants generally reach about 16 to 22 inches tall with a spread of 14 to 18 inches. Once established, Raspberry Daiquiri is drought tolerant and needs only occasional watering during extended dry periods. Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage continued bloom, or leave some seed heads late in the season for birds and winter texture.
