| The genus agastache contains some thirty species that are found in China, Japan, US, and Mexico. The most cultivated in this group are the strains from Mexico and the United States, for their tough as nails characteristics. The tubular flowers are borne in whorls all summer long, and are very attractive to many species of insects, hummingbirds, and humans. All agastache species and cultivars have strong, square stems that hold up great in harsh weather conditions, and laugh at heavy rain and extreme heat.
