I too love agastaches!!! I have 5 of the melon colored and 2 of the pink
They practically glow from a distant and are still in bloom now. I'm in Massachusetts and these are so beautiful. The bees love them and now I want some blue and purple ones. These are my favorite plant
Thumbs up

I've tried the melon ones but haven't had luck with them surviving, due to a fairly wet yard. Sad They sure are pretty!

I've noticed that they do well on the dry side so this summer was perfect for them because of our drought. They are still in bloom now and I won't cut them back until spring. My favorites. I will send pic.
