Poquito Dark Blue, also known as Dwarf Hummingbird Mint or Hyssop, is a hybrid Terra Nova Nurseries developed for superior cold tolerance and a compact, bushy habit. This variety also offers disease resistance and a tidy appearance. Poquito has a dense, bushy habit of 12-15" tall and 14-16" wide. Mint-flavored foliage makes excellent tea, and fragrant dark blue flower spikes bloom from June through September. Poquito Dark Blue brings a striking pop of long-lasting perennial color to borders and compact landscapes. This variety is particularly well-suited for containers. Hardy in zone 5-10, Agastache resists deer, attracts pollinators, and flourishes in full or partial sun with good drainage. For a taller variety, try Kudos Silver-Blue.
Sell Poquito Dark Blue to customers looking for a low-maintenance perennial flower to attract pollinators to the landscape or a compact Agastache variety. Homeowners often look for attractive perennials for borders or cottage gardens that won't add to the outdoor workload. Poquito offers many benefits, including superior cold tolerance, a compact, dense, bushy habit, and a long bloom season. Bees and butterflies love Agastache. This plant is especially well-suited for containers and cut flower gardens. Create a traditional cottage garden by pairing Poquito Dark Blue with Geranium, Echinacea, and Rudbeckia.
Coach Your Customer:
1. Space plants 12-15" apart in full sun in well-drained soil. Agastache may develop root rot in soils that are too moist. Use gravel at the bottom of your planting hole to provide additional drainage, especially for overwintering.
2. Water regularly, especially during the first year, for a healthy root system.
To achieve the best results with Poquito Dark Blue, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5, EC of 1.5-2.0 mS/cm, and light feed (100-150 ppm). Pinch once at transplant. You may see spider mites or whiteflies. Root rot and downy mildew can be a problem in poorly draining soil or wet conditions. This variety offers superior disease resistance.

Agastache is not prone to disease. Avoid root rot by planting in well-drained soil. Watch for rust, which may be indicated by yellowed and withering leaves. Rust should be treated by immediately removing the affected plant parts. For a rust infestation that continues to return, a preventative fungicide may be used when new growth begins in spring. Prevent rust from spreading by removing all diseased debris at the end of the season. Powdery mildew may also affect Agastache, but is unlikely to cause the plant to die. This fungus causes a grayish powder on the surface of leaves, and can be treated by removing affected plant parts and using a preventative fungicide.
Prevent fungus and mildew infection by watering at the base of each plant in the morning, providing adequate airflow in your greenhouse, and allowing sunlight to penetrate to the soil level of each plant.
We recommend planting one rooted liner per 4-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of the container.
