Its foliage, a lush green with a silvery sheen, adds texture and releases a delightful fragrance when brushed. This charming plant blooms profusely from summer through early autumn, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Cultural
'Pink Pearl' thrives in full sun, where it produces its most vibrant blooms. It prefers well-drained soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for water-wise gardens. Avoid heavy or poorly draining soils, as this can lead to root rot. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged flowering and keeps the plant looking tidy. Agastache is frost-hardy in milder climates, but in cooler regions, a layer of mulch in winter can help protect the roots. This perennial performs best with a light application of slow-release fertiliser in spring and benefits from being cut back in late winter to encourage fresh growth for the new season.

Its long-lasting flowers are excellent for fresh arrangements, adding charm to cut flower gardens.
