The Sunset agastache I had to move out of one bed to another.. here's what it looked like after it settled back in.



I thought planting it next to Oranges & Lemons rose would look good.

Very pretty, and I can almost smell the wonderful scent coming from them.

It looks terrific, Toni.

It does indeed.

Marilyn said:Make sure you keep newly planted Agastaches watered during their first year. Especially, during hot and dry times.

I was referring "in general" when planning newly planted ones.

I've been hunting for Agastaches for xeric gardening. These are "easily grown in good garden soils or leaner rock garden areas as long as the site is "well-drained", according to HCG.

Agastache cana 'Rosita'
Agastache 'Summer Love'
Agastache rupestris
Agastache 'Blue Fortune'
Zones 5-9.




Anyone growing A. 'Rosita'?

ok, I'm not too bright here.. how is everyone posting pictures like y'all are?

Do you mean from the database, Toni?

Tee - Yea. Like how you posted a pic of Summer Love w/the box around it.

In the database, click on the picture you want. That will enlarge it and you will see a BB code just above the picture. Highlight and copy the code and paste into a post. Voila.

Tee I just looked at HCG's A. 'Rosita'. What a beautiful plant. I love the size of it also. It won't be available until fall through their catalog.

I'll have to watch for it in the nurseries. If any of you find an online source would you let me know?

I will, Lynn, and please do the same. I'd really like to have it. From what I've read, it doesn't tend to get leggy either.

It's a HCG introduction. With them going to restart their mail order business, maybe they'll offer it again. I used to grow it and lost it. I'd like to get it too.

That might have been when they were up and running last year, before they closed. They aren't up yet for business.

These are Marilyn's!!

Think this is the varieties I've grown.....

Thanks for posting those photos. I will get some Ava now!

I emailed HCG to see when they would have plants available.

Tee, the photos are beautiful. You have sure had a lot of different ones.

Lynn, those are Marilyn's plants. I just transferred the photos from elsewhere so they ended up under my name.

I saw that, but you said that you have grown those varieties.
I love it when photos are posted that way. So easy to immediately go to the database entry for that plant.
