Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A hybrid of A. pallida and A. rugosa, tall, to two and a half feet, only 18 inches wide topped with bright pink flowers set against a even brighter display of purple-red bracts. Prone to flopping, so either grow it in very dry, low fertility soils, or plan on staking it. Zone 6, maybe colder. ? Joseph

In a group known for blue or white flowers, ‘Globetrotter’ introduces carmine-red or pink-purple bottlebrush-shaped blooms. Agastaches are known to hybridize freely & from Holland comes this new A. pallida & A. rugosa cross. The flowers cut well for arrangements & they are popular with bees & butterflies. The leaves are strongly scented of Peppermint. Like its parents, ‘Globetrotter’ has a strongly vertical growth habit with stems up to 30”, yet only spreading to 18”. It grows best in poor soil with little nitrogen. In rich garden soil it will probably need staking. It also does well in containers.
