Agastache x ‘Desert Sunrise®’ (Hummingbird Mint) is a hybrid native wildflower that blooms for months with tall spikes of orange and pink tubular flowers. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds. The plant has aromatic, mint-scented foliage and flowers.

Description

Imagine a clear sky with a line of low clouds on the horizon, tinted
shades of orange, pink and lavender by the rising sun and you have the
color of ‘Desert Sunrise’ flowers. A hybrid I discovered in my garden a
few years back, ‘Desert Sunrise®’ is a cross between the two best
southwestern species of the genus: Agastache rupestris and Agastache
cana. This new perennial introduction is a sturdy, vigorous grower that
blooms non-stop from mid-summer through fall. The flower spikes are quite
large and both the foliage and flowers are delightfully fragrant.
Agastache ‘Desert Sunrise®’ is xeric like Agastache rupestris, but like
Agastache cana adapts well to regular garden conditions with better
soils and more plentiful water. Best of all, ‘Desert Sunrise®’ is a rich
nectar source that is very popular with hummingbirds! Not recommended
for Fall planting in zones 5-6. (cutting propagated)
