I'm glad I saw this thread today. I'm growing Agastache for the first time and am thrilled with the White cultivar I got in a seed swap. The purple started nice but is looking rather paltry this August. It might be the new front yard bed needs to settle in more. Perhaps next year will be better.
I just planted my remaining Blue Queen salvia. Looking forward to year 2 with them. And my favorite because of the sweet black currant scent is Hot Lips salvia that I grew from cuttings and overwinter, as it's not hardy in my zone. So worth it! Will share a photo later.
