SPECIES
Agastache foeniculum
This is the native North American species, originating from the Canadian Plains, also called "agastache fennel", "anise hyssop", ka-wīkīpăkahk – "plant that has a good scent" – in Cree and Mo e'‑emohk' shin – "moose mint" or "scent" – in Cheyenne.
GROWING TIPS
Start sowing indoors one month before transplanting.
Small agastache seeds germinate in light in 7 to 15 days: sow on the surface, covering with a dome or transparent film to maintain constant humidity until emergence.
Direct sowing outdoors is possible, but risky, as it is difficult to achieve the required germination conditions in the open air, and the tiny agastache seedling is easily smothered by earlier or faster-growing species.
Plant or transplant in a clump in well-drained, organically rich soil, in full sun, with spacing of about 40 cm. Weed well the first year.
Agastache flowers from its first season, from July to October in Sainte-Émélie-de-l'Énergie (cold zone 4). Plants can live up to 5 years. Those that do not survive the winter can be renewed spontaneously by natural sowing. Agastache reseeds itself abundantly, but it is not invasive by the roots.
