Agastache rugosa, Korean Mint, Huo-xiang |

A native of Japan, Vietnam, Laos and
Manchuria, this aromatic perennial has thick spikes of blue-purple
flowers and a strong minty, anise-like scent. We have direct-seeded
this in our gardens with excellent results. Pinching tops back early
will help the bush to become more stable as the plant matures. Grow specs: 2-3 ft. Thin to 18 inches apart. Ordinary loam. Full sun. Historical usage: The tea is delicious and is traditionally used to strengthen the stomach, helping with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and sluggish energy. (Photo © Ron Hughes) $3.00 |
