Sometimes I deadhead Little Trudy<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, but it\u2019s not required as the flowers just keep coming throughout the entire growing season regardless. No other care is required, and pests are minimal.

This perennial is covered in large (2-inch diameter) true blue blossoms from mid-spring through summer, making it a lovely addition to the front of any border. Butterflies enjoy its blooms as much as we do. A light pruning after the initial flush of flowers will encourage reblooming. In my garden, I find it does best in partial shade during the heat of the day. Once established, this geranium is drought tolerant; however, I still provide supplemental water in dry years for better flowering.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_221437\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-221437\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-221437\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01145739\/FG225rgmtw1-Agastache-Pstessene_Coronado-Red-David-Winger_ctsy-of-Plant-Select.jpg\" alt=\"Agastache Coronado Red habit and bloom\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01145739\/FG225rgmtw1-Agastache-Pstessene_Coronado-Red-David-Winger_ctsy-of-Plant-Select.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01145739\/FG225rgmtw1-Agastache-Pstessene_Coronado-Red-David-Winger_ctsy-of-Plant-Select-700x635.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01145739\/FG225rgmtw1-Agastache-Pstessene_Coronado-Red-David-Winger_ctsy-of-Plant-Select-1200x1089.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01145739\/FG225rgmtw1-Agastache-Pstessene_Coronado-Red-David-Winger_ctsy-of-Plant-Select-768x697.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-221437\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo courtesy of Plant Select<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Coronado<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Red hyssop<\/h2>\n<h3>Name: <em>Agastache<\/em> \u2018Pstessene\u2019<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Zones<\/strong>:\u00a05\u20139<br \/><strong>Size<\/strong>: 16 to 18 inches tall and 12 to 16 inches wide<br \/><strong>Conditions<\/strong>: Full sun to partial shade; moderately moist to dry soil<br \/><strong>Native range<\/strong>: Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico<\/p>\n<p>Hyssops have become a staple in my garden.

It has bright green foliage capped with masses of vibrant orange flowers with fuchsia centers. When in full bloom from April through June, it almost glows. This long-blooming perennial will continue to have a smattering of blossoms throughout the rest of the season too. Like other ice plants, this variety likes our mountain climate with its dry air and plentiful sunshine. It does need good drainage and prefers rock mulch over wood types. The succulent foliage is a nod to its inherent drought tolerance, and the plant will thrive without much (if any) supplemental water.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Regional expert: Michelle Provaznik<\/strong> is the chief executive officer of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicgardens.org\/\">American Public Gardens Association<\/a> and has been gardening in the Mountain West for over 25 years.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"tcc-recommended\" arial-labelledby=\"tcc-recommended-products\">\n<p class=\"tcc-recommended__title\" id=\"tcc-recommended-products\">Fine Gardening Recommended Products<\/p>\n<div class=\"tcc-recommended__content\">\n<section class=\"tcc-recommended-product\" data-product_id=\"188174\" aria-labelledby=\"tcc-gilmore-rubber-hose-washer-10pk\">\n<div class=\"tcc-recommended-product__content\">\n<div class=\"tcc-recommended-product__image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d4c5gb8slvq7w.cloudfront.net\/eyJlZGl0cyI6eyJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjE1MCwiaGVpZ2h0IjoxNTB9fSwiYnVja2V0IjoiZmluZWdhcmRlbmluZy5zMy50YXVudG9uY2xvdWQuY29tIiwia2V5IjoiYXBwXC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wNlwvMDIxMjQ4NDZcL0ZHLWdpbW9yZS1ob3NlLXdhc2hlcnMuanBnIn0=\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d4c5gb8slvq7w.cloudfront.net\/eyJlZGl0cyI6eyJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjE1MCwiaGVpZ2h0IjoxNTB9fSwiYnVja2V0IjoiZmluZWdhcmRlbmluZy5zMy50YXVudG9uY2xvdWQuY29tIiwia2V5IjoiYXBwXC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wNlwvMDIxMjQ4NDZcL0ZHLWdpbW9yZS1ob3NlLXdhc2hlcnMuanBnIn0= 150w,&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;https:\/\/d4c5gb8slvq7w.cloudfront.net\/eyJlZGl0cyI6eyJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjEwMCwiaGVpZ2h0IjoxMDB9fSwiYnVja2V0IjoiZmluZWdhcmRlbmluZy5zMy50YXVudG9uY2xvdWQuY29tIiwia2V5IjoiYXBwXC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wNlwvMDIxMjQ4NDZcL0ZHLWdpbW9yZS1ob3NlLXdhc2hlcnMuanBnIn0= 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"tcc-recommended-product__info\">\n<p class=\"tcc-recommended-product__title\" id=\"tcc-gilmore-rubber-hose-washer-10pk\">Gilmore Rubber Hose Washer 10pk<\/p>\n<p class=\"tcc-recommended__disclaimer\">Fine Gardening receives a commission for items purchased through links on this site, including Amazon Associates and other affiliate advertising programs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Live red rubber construction, 3\/4in. washers&#13;<br \/>\n&#8211; Clip of 10<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"tcc-recommended-product\" data-product_id=\"209269\" aria-labelledby=\"tcc-pruning-simplified-a-step-by-step-guide-to-50-popular-trees-and-shrubs\">\n<div class=\"tcc-recommended-product__content\">\n<div class=\"tcc-recommended-product__image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FG221gs-Pruning-Simplified_ctsy-Cheyenne-Wine.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FG221gs-Pruning-Simplified_ctsy-Cheyenne-Wine.jpg 150w,&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/FG221gs-Pruning-Simplified_ctsy-Cheyenne-Wine.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" alt=\"\" width=\"1101\" height=\"1200\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"tcc-recommended-product__info\">\n<p class=\"tcc-recommended-product__title\" id=\"tcc-pruning-simplified-a-step-by-step-guide-to-50-popular-trees-and-shrubs\">Pruning Simplified: A Step-by-Step Guide to 50 Popular Trees and Shrubs<\/p>\n<p class=\"tcc-recommended__disclaimer\">Fine Gardening receives a commission for items purchased through links on this site, including Amazon Associates and other affiliate advertising programs.<\/p>\n<p> Pruning Simplified shows you exactly how to do it.
