    Agastache aurantiaca 'Coronado' is a beautiful plant for your garden because of the colors of the flowers against the silvery leaves.

    It is a 2001 Plant Select plant from the Denver Botanical Garden & University of Colorado.

    'Coronado' is a cultivar of a southwestern perennial native.

    I've known for many years that 'Coronado' was the longest blooming Agastache. With more and more Agastaches on the market every year, there might be some hybrids that match the performance of 'Coronado'.

    This is also one of my favorites!

    You can't go wrong growing Agastaches. They're beautiful, long-blooming, low-maintenance plants and they attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Every year there are new Agastaches on the market, with dazzling flower colors to pick from, to grow in your garden or a container, as long as it has excellent drainage.
