Description

(Agastache aurantiaca). Heavenly fragrance and stunning raspberry-colored flowers make this agastache irresistible to pollinators, and a favorite in our trial gardens! Plants average 15 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Attractive to a wide range of pollinators and also resistant to deer and rabbits. Blooms from early summer to mid fall.

Growing Tips: Raspberry Daiquiri is a compact, free-flowering agastache with vivid raspberry-colored blooms and a heavenly fragrance that earned it a place as a standout performer in Baker Creek's own trial gardens. Its long blooming season from early summer through mid fall makes it one of the most productive pollinator plants available for its size. The compact, upright habit fits neatly into borders, containers, and pollinator patches, and its natural resistance to deer and rabbits makes it a reliable choice for gardens where browsing pressure is a concern.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last expected frost date for the best chance of first-year bloom, or direct sow outdoors in early spring once soil can be worked. Seeds require light to germinate and should be surface sown without covering. A brief cold stratification period of two to four weeks may improve germination rates. In Zones 5-10, established plants are reliably perennial and will return each season without replanting.

How to Sow and Plant

Surface sow seeds by pressing them lightly into moist, well-drained soil without covering. Raspberry Daiquiri performs best in lean, well-drained soils consistent with its Southwest native heritage—avoid heavy clay or poorly drained conditions. Space transplants or thin seedlings to 12 to 15 inches apart to accommodate the plant's compact but well-defined mature habit. Overly rich or heavily amended soils are unnecessary and may reduce plant longevity and fragrance intensity.

How to Grow

Raspberry Daiquiri is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first season to encourage strong root development, then reduce irrigation significantly as plants mature. Excellent drainage is essential year-round and is particularly critical through winter, when wet soils are the most common cause of plant loss. Deadhead spent flower spikes regularly to sustain the long blooming season from early summer through mid fall, and cut plants back to the ground in early spring before new growth begins.

How to Save Seeds

Raspberry Daiquiri produces small seeds in clusters along the dried flower spike, typical of the Lamiacae family.

  • Allow a few flower spikes to dry fully on the plant at the end of the season
  • Harvest seed spikes by cutting and placing in a paper bag to capture any that fall
  • Dry thoroughly in a cool, well-ventilated location before cleaning
  • Store cleaned seeds in a sealed, labeled container in a cool, dry, dark place for up to 3 years
