Notes
'Golden Jubilee' Korean mint (Agastache rugosa 'Golden Jubilee') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and cut flower use. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Its golden leaves smell of licorice and mint, and spikes of violet-pink flowers draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Lanceleaf coreopsis, Indian grass, Ornamental onion, and Bush honeysuckle.
