{"product_id":"peachie-keen-hummingbird-mint-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Peachie Keen Hummingbird Mint - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeachie Keen covers itself in apricot peach flowers set in purplish pink calyxes, held just above the foliage for a neat, balanced look. Because the calyxes stay colorful, the plant keeps looking like it is in bloom long after the flowers finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt grows into a dense, ball-shaped clump about two feet tall and wider than tall, more refined than older hummingbird mints. It suits rock gardens, sunny borders and dry containers, and the aromatic leaves and flowers draw hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. Deer rarely bother it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDense spikes 3 to 4 inches long of small tubular flowers in soft apricot peach, each set in a purplish pink calyx, giving a peach-and-pink two-tone look. The spikes sit evenly just above the foliage across the top of the plant. Leaves are bright green, small, oval and toothed, aromatic. The plant is a dense, compact, ball-shaped clump 20 to 24 inches tall and 26 to 32 inches wide. At peak bloom it forms a tidy dome of peach and pink spikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeachie Keen grows in the same hot, dry, well-drained spots as lavender, and its apricot and pink dome makes a soft, warm companion to lavender while blooming long after lavender's first flush.\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 Apricot peach with purplish pink calyxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, ball-shaped clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–24 in tall × 26–32 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.
