    I got this beauty from Flowers By The Sea this spring. This is the first year it became available for purchase. Instead of planting it in the ground, I decided to plant it into a container tub, along with three other Agastaches. I have the container sitting at the end of our side entry driveway in the front row of the 33 containers I have there and getting full sun. I couldn't wait to see the flowers and kept an eye on it daily. Out of the 7 different Agastaches that I have in different containers on the driveway, this one was the first to bloom. It is doing great and is a great container plant.
