Agastache cana 'Double Bubble Mint' is a hummingbird magnet with raspberry-red flowers smothering the 36 inch tall vertical spikes from summer to fall. Also called mosquito plant in its native range where rubbing the leaves on the skin reportedly repels mosquitoes. Grow this hummingbird mint in hot, dry sunny spots with thin, rocky soils. Perfect for rock gardens, along driveways and sidewalks, and in other marginal spots where you never get around to spreading compost. Also loved by bees and butterflies. Deer and rabbit resistant.
