Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A new Paul Bonine introduction of a compact free-blooming Mandarin Orange colored Agastache. That should be enough credentials but I will babble on a bit more. Drought tolerant, blooms June until frost, deer resistant, likes well-drained poor soil with summer water only when you are feeling guilty (except you Catholics - that's too much) Loves heat and hummingbirds.
