A cornerstone herb in traditional Asian herbalism, this hardy perennial produces tall spikes of lavender-purple flowers surrounded by lush, serrated green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike invasive true mints (\u003ci\u003eMentha\u003c\/i\u003e family), Korean Mint grows in tidy, clump-forming bushes that will not take over your garden beds. The aromatic leaves emit a intoxicating blend of licorice, mint, and anise, making them a prized choice for soothing herbal teas, culinary seasonings, floral displays, and apothecary remedies. Outstandingly attractive to honeybees, native bees, butterflies, and beneficial garden pollinators, it provides a long blooming season from mid-summer right through to autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntense Aromatic Flavor:\u003c\/b\u003e Distinct anise-mint aroma perfect for fresh or dried herbal teas and culinary dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNon-Invasive Habit:\u003c\/b\u003e Clump-forming perennial that stays where you plant it without aggressive underground runners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePollinator Sanctuary:\u003c\/b\u003e Loved by honeybees, native bees, butterflies, and hoverflies throughout summer and autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eApothecary Essential:\u003c\/b\u003e Celebrated in traditional herbalism for its soothing, digestive-supporting properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardy \u0026amp; Easy to Grow:\u003c\/b\u003e Drought-tolerant once established and thrives in sunny borders, herb gardens, and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Information (Australia):\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eAgastache rugosa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Herbaceous Perennial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/b\u003e Erect, clump-forming bushy herb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSowing Season:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTemperate\/Cool:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring to Early Summer (or raise indoors in late winter).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubtropical:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring or Autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTropical:\u003c\/b\u003e Autumn to Early Winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Position:\u003c\/b\u003e Full Sun to Light Part Shade (requires at least 4–6 hours of direct sun for best flower production).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSowing Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e Surface sow or press lightly into soil (2mm deep max—requires light to germinate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e 35cm–45cm apart between plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlant Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 80cm–120cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temp:\u003c\/b\u003e 18°C–24°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Time:\u003c\/b\u003e 10–21 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed to Bloom\/Harvest Time:\u003c\/b\u003e 80–90 days for leaf harvest; blooms appear in 100–120 days from sowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGardener’s Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Press the fine seeds lightly into moist seed-raising mix without covering completely, as light aids germination.
