    Hello there ... this forum has been quiet lately, but I'm hoping someone can help me with this question.

    My 3 year old Agastache "Heatwave" suddenly sprang up to 6 feet high, with an extremely leggy habit. It's in a west-facing garden.

    Could I pinch off the new growth to get the habit back down to its advertised height - 36", or will that just prevent flower growth? Does pruning back encourage more growth from the crown?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
