The Ambrosia Hummingbird Mint is a perennial plant that blooms from early summer until the first frost. It's recognized for its unique flower color, a lovely blend of pink and orange, reminiscent of ambrosia. Like other members of its family, it has aromatic foliage and thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It's also drought-tolerant, making it a good choice for gardens in drier climates. This plant is a real treat for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, attracting them with its vibrant flowers and sweet nectar. It's an excellent addition to a pollinator garden or any garden where you'd like to attract these wonderful creatures. The Ambrosia Hummingbird Mint can grow up to 24 inches tall and spread up to 18 inches wide, so be sure to give it plenty of room to grow. Regular deadheading will also promote more blooms.
