Discover the Aromatic Charm of Agastache: A Unique Addition to Your Bouquet
At Florimo.nl, we are always seeking flowers that are not only visually appealing but also add an extra dimension to your bouquets. Today, we want to introduce you to Agastache, also known as Hyssop or Hummingbird Mint. This unique flower, with its striking, spiky flower heads and often delightful fragrance, is a true asset for anyone looking to add a natural, playful, and aromatic element to their floral arrangements.
A Flower with Character: Texture and Scent in One
Agastache stands out with its distinctive flower spikes. Small, tubular florets are densely packed along the upright stems, creating a bottlebrush or plume-like structure. This unique texture gives bouquets a playful and natural look, contrasting with more traditional flower shapes.
But Agastache offers more than just interesting texture. Many species and cultivars have aromatic foliage that releases a lovely scent when touched. Depending on the variety, this fragrance can range from minty fresh to licorice-like sweet or even spicy. The flowers themselves can sometimes emit a subtle, pleasant aroma, adding an extra sensory dimension to your bouquet.
A Color Palette Inspired by Nature
The colors of Agastache are just as diverse and beautiful. You'll find them in a wide range of hues: from soft lavender and deep purple to bright blue and pink. There are also warmer varieties in orange and red, and even elegant white cultivars. This versatile color palette makes it easy to integrate Agastache into various color schemes and arrangement styles, from romantic and dreamy to cheerful and summery.
Why Choose Agastache for Your Fresh Bouquet?
Agastache is an increasingly popular choice among flower lovers and florists, and for good reason:
- Unique Texture and Form: The striking flower spikes add a playful and natural element to bouquets.
- Aromatic Experience: The fragrant foliage and sometimes the flowers provide a subtle, pleasant scent in the home.
- Long Vase Life: With proper care, Agastache can last surprisingly long in the vase, allowing you to enjoy its beauty for an extended period.
- Attracts Pollinators (Even in the Vase): While the flowers in the vase no longer produce nectar, they retain their attractive shape for the eye, reminiscent of their natural appeal to bees and butterflies.
- Versatile in Use: Agastache is beautiful in mono-bouquets, where its unique shape and color fully come into their own. But they are also a valuable addition as a textural element and playful accents in mixed bouquets.
The Best Care for Your Fresh Agastache
To enjoy your fresh Agastache to the fullest, here are some care tips:
- The Right Cutting Technique: Upon arrival, cut the stems diagonally with a sharp knife. Remove any leaves that will fall below the waterline to prevent rotting. Re-cut the stems every one to two days.
- Clean Water and Flower Food: Place the Agastache in a clean vase with fresh water and add a packet of commercial flower food. This nourishes the flowers and helps prevent bacterial growth.
- Allow Them to Hydrate: Give the flowers some time to hydrate well in the water after cutting before placing them in their final arrangement.
- Remove Spent Flowers: To keep the vase looking fresh and prolong the blooming period, gently remove any wilting or faded florets from the spikes.
- The Ideal Location: Place the vase with Agastache in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Change Water Regularly: Change the vase water every one to two days to keep it fresh and clean.
