I just found this at Home Depot, and was looking for a short (1 foot or less) plant for a certain area. How tall has your's gotten? And width? Any other issues with it? So far, it's looking great in it's new home, and I went back and got another one.
Thanks,

Hi Happytail,

I have several 'Acapulco Salmon & Pink', but you can't have enough Agastaches and I have others Agastaches! ;-)) I love Agastaches!!!

I had to 'drop everything' when I read your message yesterday and went to HD, Lowe's (where I'd gotten some 'Acapulco Salmon & Pink' last year, and a local nursery to hopefully find the 'Acapulco Salmon & Pink' Agastache you found at HD. I didn't find anything! :-(( I was so disappointed!

Some of the 'Acapulco Salmon & Pink', are doing ok and some not so good. I have one that is doing beautifully. It's in a slightly raised area and was in a gallon pot I bought last year. It's about 30" across and 30" high. I pinched it every so often to increase branching. I have another one that is about 24" high and 24" wide. I have another one that isn't doing good (must be the drainage).

I ordered some Agastaches from 'Lazy S'S Farm & Nursery' ( a Garden Watchdog 30 group) and have been very pleased with the company. It's a great place (lots of different Agastaches). I'll be ordering from them next year for Agastaches, Salvias, etc...

Also, High Country Gardens (a Garden Watchdog group) has Agastaches too, which I've ordered, and other plants. Great company also.

Marilyn
