'''''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.
