Agastache mexicana 'Balsumlora' | Summerlong Coral Mexican Giant Hyssop
DESCRIPTION
Agastache mexicana 'Balsumlora’ is a compact, floriferous perennial that produces dense spikes of tubular, coral-colored flowers from early summer through fall. The flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a lively addition to the garden throughout the growing season.
The foliage is aromatic, releasing a minty-citrus scent when brushed or crushed. The leaves are lance-shaped with slightly serrated edges, forming a bushy, well-branched habit that maintains a tidy appearance. Compared to other Agastache mexicana varieties, 'Balsumlora' is particularly valued for its prolonged bloom time, compact growth, and abundant flowering, making it well-suited for borders, pollinator gardens, and container plantings.
