A place for Agastaches.

I can't find my bloom and plant photos of Agastache 'Apricot Sprite', except a photo when it was first emerging from winter dormancy. I can't believe I don't have photos of the mature plant and blooms. This year.


I did add some agastache photos to the database from Wild Ginger Farm. Her stock is so hardy.




The scent from the foliage is intoxicating.

Those are gorgeous, Lynn. That Orange Humminbird Mint looks lucious. Very nice looking plant! You recommend Wild Ginger Farm then, I take it?

Boy, do I ever. I have purchased plants from them for the last 3 years. They live up in the hill country leading to the Cascade Mountain Range and raise very hardy plants.
It is easy to spend an entire day there, plant browsing and taking photos. I'll be going as soon as it opens this spring.

Here are a two more from Wild Ginger Farm.




There is another one I need to add to the database, listed as Agastache rugosa 'Golden Jubilee', but I can't find this one listed in ITIS.
But I do find it here: http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bi...

I'm referring to both ITIS and the USDA/GRIN databases. But put the photos of 'Golden Jubilee' here.

Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum 'Golden Jubilee')

Here are my agastaches
Apache Sunset with lily Sophie


Apricot Sprite this has been a great plant



Tutti Fruitty second year but doubtful about a third year.




I have grown Blur Fortune but it winterkills after a couple of years

Those are all beautiful Jo Ann. Just look at the size of Tutti Fruitty. I didn't know it got that big.

I enjoy seeing them in a garden setting like that.

I have been thinking about 'Tutti Frutti' since it's a taller one, but I'd like it to last longer than 3 years. However, that is the definition of a "perennial" plant ... one that lives 3 years or more. I guess I can save seeds. I do like it a lot.

Will they come true from seed?

Good question. I'm seeing it sold as seed and I think A. rupestris (the species) does come true from seed, but the cultivars probably wouldn't.

I didnt know TF was that tall either.My zone is first on the chart .I just love the color,camera doesnt do it justice.
If it dies I wont be surprised,just another zone I didnt check befor ordering. I also have Rasperry summer another close call as far as longevity goes.
I bought it from a co-op so zones werent listed.Deep fantastic color

Some places advertise it as 3-6 ft. tall. I have it on my "want" list. I'm anxious to get it.

Mine was a new plant last year.I sure hope it comes up this spring but 6 feet will be overkill.

Got nine or 10 baby Agastaches from mamajack in spring and let most of them die over this last hotttttt summer. Tutti Frutti, Black Adder, Summer Love, Firebird, and Blue Boa were still kicking as of last month. Will see if they overwinter okay.

I hope they do.

Will she have another co-op or did she just offer those for sale?

My Raspberry Summer and another I cant remember were from Mammajack's co-op.Those really tiny plants had a hard time of it in last summers heat. It will be interesting to see how many survived.

i will ask her. she has been out of town a lot, but i should be talking to her in the next couple of weeks and will let you know
