Sunny Sparks™ Pink Improved Agastache

Sunny Sparks™ Pink Improved is an upright, compact Agastache selection with soft pink tubular flowers and fragrant foliage. [Danziger lists it as a first-year flowering variety](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/perennials_catalog/sunny-sparks-pink-imp/), giving it useful color in new perennial plantings without a full establishment year. ## Garden use Place it in a sunny border or pollinator planting where the sturdy stems and flower spikes can be seen. The Danziger cultivar page lists a 50 cm height and 60 cm spread. The [Ball Seed catalog](https://webtrack.ballseed.com/catalogsearch?refiners=PlantCategories:Perennials%3BForms:Unrooted+Cutting) identifies the product as Agastache aurantiaca. [James Greenhouses](https://www.jamesgreenhouses.com/plants/31275/) reports soft pink flowers, spring-to-fall bloom, and visits from bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. ## Growing conditions Use full sun and well-drained soil. Danziger lists the variety for zones 6–10 in its product summary, although a second zone display on the same page extends to 11; the actual edge depends on local winter conditions. James Greenhouses describes drought tolerance once established. Water regularly while new roots develop, then allow the soil to dry between irrigation. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower spikes if you want a tidier clump or to limit seed formation. Leave enough room for the plant to spread to its listed mature width, and cut back old stems in spring as fresh growth emerges.
