Purple Haze isn't as visible in my yard as some other agastaches that I''ve grown. Individual blossoms are small and dainty. It's pretty and airy, but not noticeable unless you are close to the plant. The hummingbirds, however, find it easily .
Hummingbirds and butterflies are drawn to this. The pink color blends well with a variety of other plants. We have heavy clay soil and it appears to have no problem with it.
Agastache 'Tutti Frutti' is a pollinator magnet and valuable source of nectar. It is visited by Skippers, Fritillaries, and other butterflies.
It has special value to native, bumble, and honey bees, especially longhorned, bumble, small resin, and leafcutter bees. It also attracts beneficial insects such as bee flies and soldier beetles.

Agastache 'Kudos Gold' from Terra Nova Nursery is a 2014 introduction. Another exciting and beautiful variety with fabulous gold flowers.
When I saw the photos of Agastache 'Kudos Gold,' I had to have it. I was so excited to have found a mail order source for it and ordered one. After it started blooming, I knew I should've ordered more. Another "must-have" Agastache! Get it and you'll be happy you did!
Grows like a weed. Tag stated that it only grows to 18" by 18". I have one that grows faithfully every year to almost 5 ft tall & around! Hummingbirds are definitely attracted to this plant. Even when dead in the winter, the dead stalks still retain their wonderful scent!
Agastache 'Summer Breeze' is gorgeous, colorful, long blooming, and stunning! This year is the first time I've grown it and I love it! The hummingbirds all love it too!
I planted it in a container tub along with 2 plants of hardy Agastache 'Black Adder' and the 3 plants look great together! They are growing on our driveway that gets fun sun. It's a joy to see when I walk out of the garage or pull up in the SUV!
I'm hoping Summer Breeze overwinters, but if not, I'll get it again next year and plant it into the ground and still hope for it to be hardy here.
I hope to get some good pics of it this weekend to post.
Not as tall or as wide as the "grape nectar" cultivar. Topped off this year between 4-12" tall (different plants, all planted next to each other). Also only about 4-6" wide, too. Not overly impressed by this cultivar. There are many other orange agastaches that are more impressive.
I bought 9 plants of this cultivar from the Bloomtastic! brand (http://www.hineshort.com/Plant...). Every single one died. I don't know if they were forced too early (probably as this is a fall-blooming plant and I bought all mine in the mid-spring & they were all blooming like crazy).
Bought this as an "annual" in fall 2012. Planted it like any other agastache. Came back no problem 2013. Blooming like mad this fall. Not as scented as some other agastaches, though. Very slender agastache compared to A. cana. These seem to get taller than the "Orange Nectar" variety at about 2ft tall and about 8" across.
Bought this plant about 5 years ago and planted it in an area that gets morning/noon sun. It was an absolutely beautiful golden color the first year. The following year, and every year thereafter, the leaves were the dark color seen in my photos. Not at all golden. Blooms the same color as always, however. Tolerates poor soil and my zone 5 winter well.
When I saw photos of this gorgeous Agastache, I knew I just had to have it! I bought two plants and recently planted them in one of my flowerbeds. They started blooming recently and I wished I had gotten more of them. The color of the flowers is stunningly beautiful! I'm looking forward to seeing them in bloom every year during the summers!
"Agastache cusickii is a species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common name Cusick's giant hyssop. It is native to the northwestern United States from eastern Oregon and central Nevada to Idaho and Montana.
This perennial herb grows 10 to 20 centimeters tall from a woody taproot and caudex. Some of the stems spread horizontally underground. It has leaves covered in fine hairs and the fruits are nutlets. The spikelike inflorescence bears flowers with purple-tipped sepals and white corollas each about a centimeter long with protruding stamens. Blooming occurs in June through August.
This plant grows in sagebrush and alpine ecosystems. It grows in dry, rocky mountain habitat such as talus slopes. In Nevada it grows in limber pine and pinyon-juniper woodland habitat. On Steens Mountain in Oregon it has been observed among western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis), curlleaf mountain-mahogany (Cercocarpus ledifolius), and quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides). In the Tendoy Mountains of Montana it is associated with big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) and Indian ricegrass (Oryzopsis hymenoides) on limestone talus."
"Agastache pallidiflora, commonly known as New Mexico Giant Hyssop or Bill Williams Mountain Giant Hyssop, is a plant in the mint family. It is used by the Ramah Navajo as a ceremonial chant lotion, for bad coughs, and the dried, pulverized root used as dusting powder for sores or cankers. The Ramah also use it a fumigant for "deer infection", as a febrifuge, and to protect from witches."
