Korean mint - Plant
Agastache rugosa
Korean Mint (Agastache rugosa) is a perennial aromatic plant valued for its fragrant leaves and violet flower spikes, which add colour to the garden and attract pollinators. Its scent combines hints of mint, anise and liquorice, making it an excellent choice for herb gardens, natural-style plantings and containers.
Korean Mint (Agastache rugosa) is an upright herbaceous perennial with square stems and opposite, oval, slightly toothed leaves. The foliage releases a strong, pleasant fragrance with notes reminiscent of mint, anise and liquorice. During flowering, it produces upright spikes of small tubular flowers, usually violet or purple, which are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
How to grow
Korean Mint is easy to grow in a sunny position or light partial shade, preferably in fertile, fresh and well-drained soil. Keep the substrate slightly moist during active growth, while avoiding waterlogging. It can be grown both in the garden and in pots, and benefits from light pruning after flowering to keep the plant more compact and encourage new shoots. It is a hardy, low-maintenance species, ideal for herb gardens, flowering borders and pollinator-friendly gardens.
