Know before you buy
Since 'Rosie Posie' grows to about 32 inches wide, you should space your plants approximately 30 to 36 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and to accommodate their mature, rounded habit.
Agastache 'Rosie Posie' is a prolific repeat bloomer that performs well on its own, but removing spent flower spikes can help keep the plant looking tidy and may encourage a fresh flush of blooms.
Yes, this variety is specifically noted for its heat and humidity tolerance, making it a reliable choice for gardens in zones 6 through 10 that experience challenging summer conditions.
While no plant is completely deer-proof, the mint-scented foliage of this Agastache is generally unappealing to deer and rabbits, making it a much safer choice than many other flowering perennials.
It is an excellent candidate for containers thanks to its compact, tidy habit. Just ensure your pot has good drainage and is placed in a spot that receives full sun throughout the day.
The most important requirement is well-drained soil. If you have heavy clay, amend the area with organic matter or plant in a raised bed to prevent the roots from sitting in water, which can lead to rot.
