'''''Agastache''''', is a [[genus]] of 9–12 species of [[perennial plant|perennial]] [[herbs]] in the family [[Lamiaceae]], native to eastern [[Asia]] (one species) and [[North America]] (the rest). Most species are very upright, 0.5–3 m tall, with stiff, angular stems clothed in toothed-edged, lance shaped leaves ranging from 1–15 cm long and 0.5–11 cm broad depending on the species. Upright spikes of tubular, two-lipped flowers develop at the stem tips in summer. The flowers are usually white, pink, mauve, or purple, with the bracts that back the flowers being of the same or a slightly contrasting color. Leaf tips can be eaten and made into teas. ==Cultivation== They are easily grown in moist, well-drained soil and prefer a sunny position. Winter hardiness varies; the hardiest is ''A. foeniculum'', hardy to [[USDA plant hardiness zone]] 1 in the north of its range; ''A. nepetoides'', ''A. rugosa'', ''A. scrophulariifolia'' and ''A. urticifolia'' are hardy to zones 3–5 in the northern parts of their ranges.
