{"product_id":"guava-lava-hummingbird-mint-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Guava Lava Hummingbird Mint - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eGuava Lava is a bright hummingbird mint with coral orange tubular flowers set in mauve pink calyxes. It starts blooming in the heat of summer and keeps going for weeks, and the colorful calyxes stay attractive even after the flowers drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows about 20 inches tall and a bit wider, fitting the front or middle of a sunny border, a rock garden or a dry container planting. The foliage is fragrant, and hummingbirds, butterflies and bees visit steadily. It performs best in loose, well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpright flower spikes 3 to 5 inches long crowded with slender tubular flowers in coral orange, each set in a mauve pink calyx, giving a two-tone coral-and-pink look. Spikes stand at the tips of many stems across the top of the plant. Leaves are medium green, small, oval and toothed. The plant is bushy and rounded, 20 to 22 inches tall and 22 to 26 inches wide. At peak bloom the top half of the plant is covered in coral orange and mauve pink spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuava Lava thrives in the same hot, sunny, well-drained conditions as lavender, and its coral orange and mauve spikes make a warm, lively contrast beside purple lavender through the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it full sun and loose, well-drained soil; it tolerates dry spells once established and dislikes soggy winter soil. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9. Leave the stems standing over winter and cut back in spring once new growth appears, since this helps the crowns survive cold, wet weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agastache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coral orange with mauve pink calyxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bushy, rounded clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–22 in tall × 22–26 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
