Double Bubble Mint Hyssop

Agastache cana ‘Double Bubble Mint’ is an upright, clump-forming perennial with purple-red flower spikes and lemony-mint scented leaves. It adds late-summer color to sunny borders and pollinator plantings, and its compact footprint also suits containers. ## Form and Flowering [Crescent Hill Nursery’s cultivar profile](https://crescenthillnursery.com/plants/A/Agastache-cana.htm) describes summer spikes of purple-red tubular flowers, a 24–36 inch height, and a 12–18 inch spread. The [Colorado State University Extension perennial guide](https://extension.colostate.edu/resource/herbaceous-perennials/) lists Double Bubblemint among pink-flowered Agastache cana selections, with flowering from July into September. Flower shades can read pink, red, or purple depending on light and source description. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun for the strongest flowering, though light shade is tolerated. Use well-drained soil; avoid keeping the crown wet in winter. The cultivar profile notes drought resistance after establishment and attraction to hummingbirds and butterflies. [Texas A&M AgriLife Extension](https://cbmga.org/agastache-hummingbird-mint/) describes Agastache cana as a dry-to-medium soil perennial with aromatic foliage and flowers. ## Maintenance Water new plants until established, then reduce irrigation as conditions allow. Remove spent flower spikes for a tidier appearance, and cut back winter-damaged stems in spring. Keep drainage open around the crown.
