Agastache anis

Agastache foeniculum
Une vivace dressée et en touffes de la famille de la menthe, originaire du Haut-Midwest, des Grandes Plaines et du centre du Canada, dont elle tient son nom de son feuillage à odeur d'anis. De juin à septembre, elle porte de denses épis terminaux de fleurs bilabiées allant du lavande au violet, au-dessus de tiges quadrangulaires et de feuilles opposées dentées. Le Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center la signale comme source de nectar d'une valeur particulière pour les abeilles sauvages, les bourdons et les abeilles domestiques, et elle attire aussi les papillons et les colibris.

Cold hardiness

Future
These values are location-based: this location's current hardiness is the baseline, and the 2050 value is a projected future climate for this same location.
Now
Zone 6b
USDA
Published baseline for this location from 1991-2020.

Well-suited
2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.

Heat tolerance

Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
