Agastache rupestris, commonly known as the threadleaf giant hyssop, Mexican Hyssop, or licorice mint, is a wildflower native to the mountains of Arizona, New Mexico, and Chihuahua, Mexico. It is a popular choice for xeriscaping due to its heat tolerance and ability to thrive in dry, nutrient-poor soil. It is often planted in containers or as a border flower and used to attract hummingbirds. The plant has gray-green stems and leaves while dormant and orange flowers with purple buds that bloom from mid-summer until fall. When crushed, the petals exude a pleasant scent.
