{"product_id":"agastache-poquito-orange","title":"Poquito Orange Agastache","description":"\u003ch2\u003eClear Orange Flower Spikes on a Compact Plant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoquito Orange Agastache is a dwarf hummingbird mint with bright orange flower spikes held above fragrant green foliage. The plant stays short, bushy, and tidy, making it an excellent choice for homeowners who want the color and pollinator power of Agastache without the height of larger varieties. Its clear orange blooms add warm color to sunny borders, patio containers, rock gardens, and low-maintenance perennial beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flower spikes are tubular, which makes them especially attractive to hummingbirds. Bees and butterflies also visit the blooms, bringing movement and life to the garden through summer. Use Poquito Orange where you want a compact perennial that looks cheerful, works hard for pollinators, and stays in scale near walkways, patios, and the front of sunny beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Dwarf Hummingbird Mint for Containers and Small Spaces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoquito Orange is part of a compact Agastache series bred for shorter, bushier growth and strong flowering. It typically grows around 10 to 15 inches tall and about 12 to 16 inches wide, with flower spikes rising just above the foliage. That smaller size makes it easier to use in containers, mixed planters, narrow borders, and small-space pollinator gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant it as a bright seasonal accent in patio pots, repeat it along the edge of a sunny border, or group several together for a low sweep of orange flowers. It pairs well with Nepeta, Salvia, Coneflower, Coreopsis, Sedum, Gaillardia, Lavender, ornamental grasses, Yarrow, Russian Sage, and other sun-loving perennials that enjoy sharp drainage and leaner soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLong-Blooming Color From Summer Into Fall\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoquito Orange Agastache offers a long bloom window in the garden, with flower spikes appearing throughout the warm months and continuing into fall when conditions are right. The blooms are dense and showy for the plant's size, giving small spaces a strong color payoff without a large footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeadheading spent flower spikes can help keep the plant looking fresh and may encourage continued bloom. The flowers also make a strong pollinator garden feature because they provide nectar during the summer, when hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies are active and seeking reliable food sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFull Sun and Sharp Drainage Are the Keys to Success\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoquito Orange Agastache performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Good drainage is especially important for Agastache, particularly in winter. Avoid heavy, wet clay or areas where water collects around the crown. If your soil stays damp, plant in a raised bed, berm, container, or amended sunny border where water drains freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Poquito Orange is drought-tolerant and does not need rich soil or heavy fertilizer. In fact, too much moisture or overly fertile soil can make Agastache less durable. Water regularly during establishment, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. This plant prefers sunny, airy, well-drained conditions over constant moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDeer Resistant, Fragrant, and Low Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrant foliage gives Poquito Orange Agastache strong garden value beyond the flowers. The aromatic leaves help make Agastache less appealing to deer and rabbits, which is one reason homeowners use it in sunny, exposed plantings where browsing can be a problem. No plant is completely deer-proof, but Agastache is a reliable choice for deer-resistant perennial designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winter care, avoid cutting the plant back too hard in the fall in colder climates. Leaving some stems in place can help protect the crown through winter. Cut back old stems in spring when new growth begins. With full sun, good airflow, and sharp drainage, Poquito Orange Agastache is a colorful, pollinator-friendly perennial that stays compact and easy to enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Goods Direct","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon Pot","offer_id":44538690109482,"sku":"41129","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0212\/1030\/0480\/files\/poquito-orange-agastache-1248953967.jpg?v=1783973691","url":"https:\/\/gardengoodsdirect.com\/products\/agastache-poquito-orange","provider":"Garden Goods Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
