Summary
Agastache ‘Peach Pearl’ brings refined warmth and lively pollinator activity to sunny garden spaces in a compact, easy-to-place form.
Slender flower spikes rise just above a low, aromatic foliage mound, opening in soft peach tones that subtly deepen as the season progresses. The tidy habit makes it especially effective near the front of borders or woven into mixed perennial plantings where color and texture matter without overwhelming neighboring plants.
Blooming steadily from summer into fall, ‘Peach Pearl’ supports hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators while maintaining strong resistance to downy mildew and good performance through heat and dry conditions.
Care
Agastache ‘Peach Pearl’ Care
Plant in full sun for best flowering, fragrance, and overall performance. Well-drained soil is essential, as agastache does not tolerate consistently wet conditions.
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, plants tolerate moderate drought, though occasional watering during extended heat or dry periods can help maintain consistent bloom.
Fertilization is typically unnecessary in average garden soil. If planting in poor or depleted soil, a light application of slow release fertilizer at planting can support healthy early growth without encouraging excessive foliage.
Deadheading spent flower spikes can promote continued flowering. Cut plants back in late fall or early spring to refresh growth for the following season.
