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!
