I got this last fall and it is going gang busters! I love it!

Raspberry Summer is one of my favorite Agastaches! Gorgeous flower color!

I just got 3 more plants of Raspberry Summer this Spring!

Your pic looks wonderful Arlene! Make sure you add it to the database!

Done!

It's a pretty one. Isn't it interesting how many of the cultivar names are food items?

So they are good enough to eat--maybe not!! They are certainly lovely to look at. I wish I could grow them but hasn't happened, I have a black thumb when it comes to agastaches.

Make sure they have excellent drainage, most like lean (not fertile) soil with sand (not play sand) and crushed gravel on top of the soil and full sun to mostly sunny. I always add small crushed gravel in the planting hole as well,

Agastaches don't like their roots wet during the Winter.

I'm pretty sure Raspberry Summer isn't as finicky as most Agastaches.

Here's from another link of Terra Nova "Easy to grow as long as it has full sun and good drainage." Terra Nova introduced this Agastache, so they would 'know'!

This is one of my favorites and I love it! Gorgeous flower color!

Give this one a try!

And I can see they want good drainage. I have on here at my house in a bed that gets waterlogged when it rains heavily and one at my son's farm. The photo is the one at the farm. The one here is much smaller. I'll have to relocate it to higher ground.

Thanks, Marilyn, for the info from Terra Nova. I love their plants and another agastache of theirs I like is Blue Boa.

I haven't grown Blue Boa, yet. Maybe next year.

Are you growing Blue Boa?

I don't have Blue Boa.

I don't have any because I always kill them. I just look at the pretty pictures!!!

I got 3 teeny little sprouts from a Mamajack co-op last year. I don't think any of them survived. Which is a shame. I haven't found them locally, either.

Sorry to hear that.

I usually get mine mail order and if I find Agastaches locally, all the better!

I think I got mine from Lowe's, both of them.

Wish our Lowe's would carry a bunch of Agastaches!

I've never seen them carry Raspberry Summer before.

I was very surprised to see the orange flowered one-gallon pots Agastaches (wrongly labeled Red Fortune') at our Lowe's the other week. Of course, I had to take 6 of the nicest ones home!

Then, the same week, I found some Nectar series Agastaches in yellow one-gallon pots at Meijer. I took 4 of the Nectar Raspberry, 1 of the Nectar Grape and 1 of the Nectar Grapefruit home!

I only got 2 of the Nectar Raspberry plants planted so far.

I have a stem on mine that has rooted, would you like to give it a try?
