'''''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.
