If you want to turn your garden into a local hub for hummingbirds, Coronado Red Agastache is the plant to do it. Also known as Hummingbird Mint, this perennial offers a stunning color show, with crimson buds that open into fiery orange-red tubular flowers. It typically grows in a tidy, upright fashion reaching about 18 to 24 inches tall, making it a perfect “thriller” for the center of your flower beds. I always advise planting these in your hottest, sunniest spots; they absolutely crave the sun and require very little water once their roots are settled in. You will love the minty, aromatic scent of the silver-green foliage, but more importantly, the local deer and rabbits do not! It is a tough, xeric beauty that provides a long season of blooms from mid-summer straight into autumn, ensuring your backyard remains vibrant while the rest of the garden might be feeling the heat.
