Question

Hi Richo!
I am in zone 5-6 and these unexpectedly came back this year for me! I have two questions:
How many cuts/harvest are average/appropriate for this plant? And how many inches should I leave on the plant to ensure that it regrows?
Also, I am growing these in mostly shade and they are growing great but I am wanting to move them to a partly shade area to make room for other plants that need more shade. Is this a good idea/possible? They seem to be clumpers rather than spreaders – is that the case?
Thank you!

hi james, its true, the korean mint is not rhizomatous. I think they can be moved. You can usually only get one cutting from them. richo

Honestly these are single-use packets, most people do best to plant the whole thing and then thin if necessary. Korean Mint has about a 3 year viability

Will this cross with other Agastache such as Anise hyssop or Giant yellow?
