Did you leave the old stems standing until spring before cutting them out? I read that is important, helps protect the crown and roots from too much winter moisture because if they are cut in fall or early winter, with the hollow stems it allows too much moisture in winter when they are dormant. .

I did leave the stems on over the winter, which I do with most perennials here because we can have some brutal winters, but without snow cover, maybe it just got too cold.

I don't care too much if the seedlings are not true to the parents because I just love the agastache. I fell in love with them last year!
