PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time
The ideal time to plant Agastache is in spring when the soil is warming and easy to work. Alternatively, early autumn planting can also be beneficial, allowing roots to establish before the dormant season.
Site Selection
Choose a position in full sun, as this encourages the best foliage colour and flowering. In addition, ensure the soil is fertile and well-drained, as this plant prefers conditions that do not remain overly wet.
Planting Instructions
Follow these steps for successful planting:
First, dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball.
Next, improve the soil with compost or well-rotted organic matter.
Then, place the plant so the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil.
After that, backfill gently and firm lightly.
Finally, water thoroughly to help Agastache rugosa ‘Golden Jubilee’ settle in.
Watering Requirements
During the growing season, water regularly while the plant is establishing. However, once established, Agastache rugosa ‘Golden Jubilee’ is relatively drought tolerant and prefers soil that is not constantly wet.
Feeding
Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth and flowering. Additionally, a light feed mid-season can help maintain vigour and prolong blooming.
Pruning
Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Furthermore, trimming back faded stems will help Agastache rugosa ‘Golden Jubilee’ stay compact and vigorous.
Mulching
Apply a light mulch in spring to suppress weeds and improve soil structure. However, ensure the mulch does not retain excessive moisture around the base.
Supporting the Plant
This plant has a naturally upright habit and usually does not require staking. Nevertheless, in more exposed areas, nearby plants can offer some support.
Final Tips
Agastache rugosa ‘Golden Jubilee’ is a low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly perennial that adds long-lasting colour and fragrance. With full sun and well-drained soil, Agastache rugosa ‘Golden Jubilee’ will thrive and return year after year.
