Plant description
‘Beelicious Pink’ brings depth and drama to rockeries, containers, and borders with its tall, tempting blooms lasting up to five months from summer to autumn. Ideal for pollinator-friendly gardens, its whorls of small, tubular pink flowers on upright spikes also make striking additions to floral arrangements indoors. With its spicy perfume and aniseed-scented leaves, this drought and heat-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soil under full sun, providing sensory delight and visual charm throughout the seasons.

How to care for Agastache rugosa Beelicious Pink ('Agapk') (PBR):
Plant in a well-prepared bed, lightly conditioned with well-rotted compost or manure. Keep cutting the old stems out to encourage repeat flowers through the summer. Once the flowering period is over, resist the temptation to cut back the faded flower-stems until early spring, as they provide interest in the winter months. Once established, lift and divide congested clumps in spring. Protect roots during the winter with a thick layer of organic mulch around the root zone.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
