Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Poquito, meaning little in Spanish, is an apt way to describe this compact hummingbird mint. This perennial starts showing off its bright orange flowers around the end of June and continues into the fall. As is common for many types of hummingbird mint, this plant does best with full sun.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
