    Same deal as most agastache: loads of bright purple-red flowers, fragrant, drought tolerant. This one is only 12 inches tall, so less flopping, and reportedly not as hardy as some.

    With refreshing lemon-scented elliptical-shaped foliage that can be brewed for tea, oodles of whorled, closely set, red-purple flowers coloring up 12 in. tall spikes and a bushy upright form, tangy 'Sangria' can be easily tucked into your garden. Hummingbirds will flock to this brand new Jelitto introduction, originating in our very own Southwest, and in northern Mexico, while Eryngium 'Blue Glitter' makes an intriguing sidekick.

    Deliciously lemon scented pink-crimson salvia-like flowers are borne on 12” spikes on this wonderful garden-worthy Hyssop. It makes a nice bushy plant 2’-3’ tall & only 1’ wide so you can squeeze her in anywhere. Not only that, but you get bees & hummingbirds & young leaves you can eat or make tea out of! EASY!

    Festive selection with tubular flowers of reddish orange. Definitely pushing the color range to the red shades so a great addition to Agastache. 2 ft x 2 ft
