When is the best time to plant them?
Spring is the ideal time for planting once the threat of heavy frost has passed, allowing the plants to establish before summer.
Do I need to fertilize them?
They are generally light feeders, but a balanced liquid fertilizer applied once in mid-spring can encourage vigorous growth.
Will they come back every year?
Yes, Agastache Beelicious Pink is a hardy perennial, meaning it will return year after year if properly cared for.
Troubleshooting
Leaves turning yellow or rotting at the base
This is likely due to waterlogged soil. Ensure the planting site or pot has excellent drainage and reduce watering frequency.
Plant not producing many flowers
The plant likely needs more direct sunlight. Move the plant to a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sun daily.
Plant looks wilted despite watering
Check for soil compaction or poor drainage. If the soil is too heavy, the roots may be struggling to breathe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, ensure your 9cm pots are well-watered before transplanting. Choose a position that receives full sun for the best bloom production. When planting in the ground, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and mix in some compost or grit to improve drainage. For containers, use high-quality multi-purpose compost and ensure there are adequate drainage holes at the base.
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish the roots. Once established, these plants are drought-tolerant and only require watering during extended dry spells. In late autumn, once the flowers fade, you can trim the stalks back to ground level to tidy up the plant for the following spring. They are hardy, but in very cold regions, a light mulch around the base of the plant can offer extra protection against frost.
