I don't have any plans to pick up new Agastache or Salvia this year. This may sound terrible but in recent years the number of species grown has been winnowed back with cultivation of the more tricky ones abandoned in favor of what has proved the most successful. I would in the long like to revisit some species that I abandoned too soon in my rush to try everything in sight. Salvia blepharophylla is one that comes to mind. While not hardy here it was wonderfully easy in pot culture and stored in a slightly above freezing enclosed porch quite well. Buchananii is another. Oh my, these might bother me until I make an order.
I agree with the mention of Amistad, it is a mainstay of the garden these days and one I would do without. Last year there were may 40 plants in various gardens and the hummingbirds took full advantage. It is so easy to propagate.
