Description

Agastache Poquito Butter Yellow is part of a line of particularly compact hybrid agastaches that are also known for their large flower spikes throughout summer. It is a compact and bushy variety with aromatic foliage that attracts butterflies and bees. This perennial and hardy variety will survive our winters in well-drained soil. Plant it in a sunny location in light soil that is not too dry in summer

 

Agastache Poquito Butter Yellow belongs to the Lamiaceae family, which is rich in plants producing essential oils. These substances protect them from both herbivorous animals and the sun's rays. This hybrid variety is no exception: its heart-shaped deciduous foliage is pleasantly aromatic.

Agastache Poquito Butter Yellow, developed in the USA, comes from a series of hybrids that are characterised by particularly compact clumps, even more so than the hybrid agastaches 'Kudos'. These varieties have also been selected for their flower spikes that do not fade over time. From June to September, the plant produces spikes in the shape of large "candles", above the green foliage. It forms a small, wide and dense clump, which will not exceed 30cm (12in) in height and 40cm (16in) in diameter. Each butter-yellow flower is nestled in a green calyx. The hardiness of this variety is not exceptional, especially in humid and cold climates in winter. Its nectar-rich flowering will attract bees and other pollinators for many weeks. The deciduous foliage is absent in winter. Agastaches are perennials with a rather short lifespan, and usually fade away after 3 to 5 years. Divide the clump regularly.

 

Agastache Poquito Butter Yellow appreciates full sun, tolerates light shade (its stems droop in very shady situations), and adapts to any garden soil that is not too chalky or too dry. Water potted plants regularly and they will reward you until autumn. It will look wonderful in a rocky bed or moist rockery with Erigeron karvinskianus, Sedum 'Angelina', Teucrium flavum, or even Delosperma 'Wheels of Wonder Orange'.

Planting and care

It dislikes consistently wet soils in winter, as they can harm its hardiness and eventually kill it. In heavy soil, pure sand can be used to plant the stump without adding any soil. It requires a sunny and sheltered position, protected from severe frosts. During very harsh winters, cover the stumps with straw or dead leaves to create a thick mulch. The soil should be fertile, loose, and moist but well-drained, especially during the flowering period. The plant can tolerate temporary periods of drought, although they can still affect its flowering.
