Agastache Obsession

It appears that I have developed a full-blown agastache obsession.  Five years ago, I purchased this variety and the rest, as they say, is history...

Silvery, soft foliage, licorice scent, bi-colored flowers, ability to attract hordes of bees and hummingbirds -  what's not to like!  This was my only agastache resident for a few years and then, I discovered Deseret Nursery in Salt Lake City.  He apparently has an agastache obsession, too, as every time I visit, he's got a new variety.  So I began collecting.

Actually has periwinkle blue flowers

I have three more plants but they aren't blooming at the moment.

So far, I've learned that all agastache have that fantastical hummingbird attracting quality.  And they're all quite drought tolerant once established.  Also, I haven't lost one yet over the winter (knock on wood.)

Last, but not least, there is some debate about the pronunciation of 'agastache'.  Some seem to prefer a version that rhymes with 'mustache'.  I personally prefer 'a-gas-tacky' mostly because I love the look in salespeople's eyes at nursery's when I say that.  lol.
