Subject: [HUMNET-L] agastaches

I have had remarkable usage of Agastaches at my home. They are the
preferred flower over just about any but the cuphea.

Have had extremely good luck with both Singing Springs Nursery and
Crownsville Nursery purchases. (Admittedly, Crownsville had the
best selection of agastache.)

The "premium carmine" seems to be a huge draw, but then so was
"apricot sunrise [I think]" and "tutti frutti."

No matter where I end up, I will always have agastache (both for
the hummer magnet and the glorious smell). They have done very well as
potted plants for me, which is nice as you can move them around to
bring the best blooming ones into prime watching locations!
