Vibrant Summer Color That Thrives in Tough Conditions
The Agastache Guava Lava is a dazzling perennial that delivers nonstop summer color. This North American native hybrid is a pollinator magnet, producing vibrant coral-orange flowers that bloom boldly in the peak of summer heat. Each blossom is held by equally striking mauve-pink calyxes, which remain colorful long after the flowers fade.
Perfect for patio containers, small gardens, and sunny borders, Guava Lava is a top choice for gardeners looking for beauty without the fuss. It’s drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and well-adapted to dry, rocky soils.
In addition to its heat and drought tolerance, this tough plant also resists deer and cold with ease, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of climates. Once established, it becomes one of the easiest perennials to care for.
Beyond its bold blooms and resilience, Guava Lava brings life to your garden. Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees can’t get enough of its nectar-rich flowers, making it a welcomed pollinator-friendly addition. For vibrant color all season long, get your Agastache Guava Lava today!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Find a place to plant that receives full sun (at least 6 hours a day). When planting, dig a hole that’s twice the size of the root ball. Place the plant in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Fill in around the roots with loose, well-draining soil, making sure the plant is secure. Agastache thrives in dry, well-drained soils, so ensure the planting area allows excess water to drain freely.
2. Watering: Once established, Agastache is drought-tolerant and should not be overwatered. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
3. Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers throughout the growing season to prevent seeding and maintain a tidy appearance. In early to mid-spring, cut back any new growth and remove any old stems to encourage fresh, compact growth and more flowers.
