More About Agastache ‘Beelicious® Pink’

Agastache ‘Beelicious® Pink’ is a refined, compact hummingbird mint bred specifically for consistent flowering, strong branching, and superior garden performance. Its soft pink flower spikes rise above aromatic, mint-scented foliage, creating a lighter, more delicate look than many traditional Agastache varieties while still delivering exceptional pollinator appeal.

Part of the Beelicious® series, this variety was selected for uniform growth and nonstop bloom. Unlike older Agastache selections that could become leggy or uneven by midsummer, ‘Beelicious® Pink’ maintains a dense, upright habit and continues flowering well into fall. The blooms refresh themselves without deadheading, keeping the plant looking clean and intentional throughout the season.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Beelicious® Pink’ has proven to be a standout performer in heat, humidity, and drought conditions—especially important for Southern gardens. In full sun with well-drained soil, it establishes quickly and produces continuous color without flopping or thinning out.

Pollinator activity is where this plant truly shines. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit constantly, making it one of the most reliable nectar plants we grow. Deer consistently avoid it, and its compact size makes it easy to incorporate into both formal and naturalistic designs. Customers often comment on how long it stays in bloom compared to older Agastache varieties.

Agastache ‘Beelicious® Pink’ vs. Other Agastache Varieties

Agastache ‘Beelicious® Pink’ stands apart from many traditional Agastache selections thanks to its compact, highly controlled growth habit and exceptional flower density. Compared to taller, airier varieties like ‘Blue Fortune’ or vigorous types such as ‘Black Adder’, Beelicious® Pink remains neatly branched and full from the base up, without the stretching or thinning that can occur as summer progresses. Dwarf selections like ‘Little Adder’ share a similar sense of control, but Beelicious® Pink distinguishes itself with a longer bloom window and a more uniform, polished appearance that performs especially well in containers and tight garden spaces.

When viewed alongside bolder, deeper-toned varieties such as ‘Blue Boa’, Beelicious® Pink introduces a softer, more romantic color note. Beelicious® Pink provides a more gentle color without overpowering neighboring plants, while ‘Sunrise White’ offers a clean, neutral presence and works well as a blending plant. Beelicious® Pink is an excellent choice for mixed borders, cottage-style plantings, and refined pollinator gardens where strong hummingbird and bee attraction is desired alongside a lighter, more harmonious palette.
