Why You’ll Love It

Agastache ‘Apricot Sprite’ is a compact, free-flowering perennial prized for its soft apricot blooms and long flowering season. The upright flower spikes sit above lightly aromatic foliage, bringing warm colour and gentle movement to borders and mixed plantings. Blooming continuously from late spring through to autumn, this variety is a magnet for bees and butterflies and pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and other sun-loving perennials. Its tidy habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens, edging, or repeated drifts.

Planting & Care Tips

• Plant in full sun for best flowering and compact form

• Prefers well-drained soil; avoid heavy or wet conditions

• Water during establishment, then moderately once established

• Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage continuous blooms

• Cut back lightly in late winter or early spring

• Avoid overwatering, especially in winter
