Agastache Wilting in Wet Weather: Root Rot Risk

Anise hyssop (Agastache) wilts suddenly after weeks of rain; brown discoloration at stem bases, stems snap off. Second sunny day.

Cause: Wet Feet

Agastache demands sharp drainage. Prolonged wet soil causes root/crown rot.

Rescue

• Dig trenches to divert water.
• Remove rotten stems, clean up plant.
• Spray with Neem (organic, anti-fungal).
• Let dry completely; hope for dry weather.

May not survive if rot is advanced.
