Agastache


Sorry I've been gone for a few weeks. Vacation. First there's planning the vacation, then the vacation, then the recovery from vacation and then the photoshopping of over 1000 pictures.


Today's awesome plant is Agastache "Summer Fiesta". I bought a pink one back in June and it bloomed ALL summer long! So a few weeks ago I saw this coral orangey one and thought I'd try more. And hummingbirds love it. I have no hummingbird feeders but many flowering plants they like.



It's a perennial native to Mexico or Asia(lots of Agastache on the internet). Supposed to bloom in summer but we're still having 70's here. Likes full sun and well drained soil once established. It should like my sandy soil here. I love the color!
