Texas hummingbird mint (Agastache cana), also known as wild hyssop, mosquito plant, or double bubble mint, is a bushy perennial native to the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico. It forms a 2-3 foot clump of aromatic, gray-green leaves topped with dense spikes of tubular, rose-pink to raspberry flowers from mid-summer to fall. The foliage exudes a sweet, minty-licorice scent when crushed.
Thrives in full sun and lean, well-drained soil. Extremely drought-tolerant once established. Deadhead to prolong bloom. A magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Deer and rabbit resistant. Use in xeriscapes, herb gardens, or perennial borders. Hardy in USDA zones 5-10.
