''Agastache'' (''giant hyssop'') is a genus of aromatic flowering herbaceous perennial plants in the family Lamiaceae, native to eastern Asia (one species) and North America (the rest).〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Flora of China Vol. 17 Page 106, 藿香 huo xiang, ''Agastache rugosa'' (Fischer & C. Meyer) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 2: 511. 1891. )〕〔(Altervista Flora of North America )〕 Most species are very upright, 0.5–3 m tall, with stiff, angular stems clothed in toothed-edged, lance shaped leaves ranging from 1–15 cm long and 0.5–11 cm broad depending on the species. Upright spikes of tubular, two-lipped flowers develop at the stem tips in summer. The flowers are usually white, pink, mauve, or purple, with the bracts that back the flowers being of the same or a slightly contrasting color. Leaf tips can be eaten and made into teas. "Agastache" is Greek for "many spikes".〔Sierra Nevada Wildflowers, Karen Wiese, 2nd ed, 2013, p. 72〕 ;Species〔〔 # ''Agastache aurantiaca'' (A.Gray) Lint & Epling - Orange Hummingbird Mint.

Winter hardiness varies; the hardiest is ''A. foeniculum'', hardy to USDA plant hardiness zone 1 in the north of its range; ''A. nepetoides'', ''A. rugosa'', ''A. scrophulariifolia'' and ''A. urticifolia'' are hardy to zones 3–5 in the northern parts of their ranges. Propagate from seed or cuttings. Popular cultivars include A. cana 'Heather Queen'.
