Arizona Sun Hyssop

Arizona Sun is a compact, uniform Agastache with bright yellow tubular flowers and aromatic green to silver-green foliage. Its 8–10 inch stature suits containers, the front of a sunny border, and small pollinator plantings; the flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies. ## Cultivar and placement The [Takii Arizona series profile](https://www.takiiseed.com/flower/arizona/) describes compact, floriferous plants with lemon-mint scented foliage and a continuous seasonal display. [Ball Seed](https://www.ballseed.com/webtrackplantinfo.aspx?ENV=P&phid=001706211005374) identifies Arizona Sun as Agastache × hybrida and lists 8–10 inches in height and spread; [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/agastache/arizona-sun-hyssop-agastache) reports the same compact range, yellow flowers, and attraction to hummingbirds and butterflies. Taxonomic labels vary across the Arizona series: Ball Seed and Proven Winners use Agastache × hybrida or Agastache, while Takii uses A. aurantiaca. ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny site with sharply drained soil. Takii cautions that the series does not tolerate wet conditions. Ball lists hardiness near zones 6a–6b; Proven Winners gives a wider 6a–9b range, so local winter survival may vary. ## Maintenance Water new plants until established, then avoid persistently wet soil. Ball Seed and Proven Winners characterize Arizona Sun as easy or low-care. Deadheading is not needed for continued flowering according to Takii, though spent stems can be removed for appearance.
